Ways to Give

» Memorials are opportunities to give a gift in memory of, or as a tribute to a loved one.
» The Saint Mary Legacy Society asks alumni and other friends to consider including a deferred gift to USM in their estate plan. This often involves including a bequest to USM in a will or trust. Learn more »

Our Students
For many students, a college education simply would not be possible without financial aid. Throughout its history, the University of Saint Mary has had an unwavering commitment to serving capable students with financial needs. Today, the university provides more than $5 million per year in student scholarships. Many of those students are the first generation in their families to go to college.
Our Campus
The university is currently renovating its historic Berchmans Hall to house the first ever Saint Mary doctorate--the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. Berchmans will become the hub of USM's burgeoning health care offerings.
To meet the growing demand for modern, on-campus housing, USM built a new residence hall that will provide apartment-style accommodations for 100 students. The $4.8 million dorm opened at the start of the fall 2009 semester.
Our Programs
In response to the nation’s critical health care staffing shortages, USM is expanding its health care programs. Specific areas of need include nursing, physical therapy, and health information management.
