With the help of financial aid, I’ve been able to immerse myself in academics wholeheartedly, make friends with so many interesting people, and learn from amazing individuals in the community.
A defining moment for Reed is here
Meet the Moment: Together, with Reed, the college’s most ambitious campaign to date, aims to sustain and strengthen the values that define a Reed education.
Reed believes the most urgent questions are rarely the most convenient. In a world chasing easy answers, Reed insists on depth—an education that is rigorous in thinking, lasting in impact, and meaningful in shaping lives. Together, through this campaign, we are advancing academic excellence, nurturing student success, and cultivating an inclusive community to shape the thinkers, creators, and changemakers our world needs.
Campaign Pillars
Reed is committed to being a top producer of innovative, successful graduates. And everything that makes that possible—our experiential research opportunities, low student-to-faculty ratio, and meaningful community experiences—is supported by gifts to Reed. This moment calls us forward to shape Reed’s future.
Nurture Student Success
Supporting every Reedie, every step of the way.
Reed wants all students to thrive from their first seminar to their senior thesis, with mentoring, wellness, and real-world opportunities that sustain their journey.
