RICE: The Next Century Campaign Closes at 502.7 million!

The largest comprehensive campaign in the history of Rice University has been a great success, closing $2.7 million beyond the $500 million goal. Nearly 24,000 alumni gave to Rice during the campaign—an impressive and strong statement of loyalty and pride.

In addition to support from alumni, many friends, faculty, staff, corporations, and foundations made gifts to fund:

• 354 new undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships
  
• 26 endowed faculty chairs
  
• new and existing programs in schools across campus
  
• construction and renovation of buildings and facilities
  
• the Rice Annual Fund that provides current use dollars campus-wide

Rice students and faculty are now well positioned to carry forward Rice’s commitment to excellence in academics and research.

Thank you to all who made this happen!
