Join the President's Circle

The President's Circle is an elite giving society that ensures brighter futures for current and future UMUC students. You can help strengthen UMUC in many ways, including supporting one or more of our strategic initiatives, establishing new scholarships, providing faculty support or gifts of art, books or equipment.

When you're in the President's Circle, your generous gift will provide support for military students, community college transfer students, graduate students, working families, and many others. Members of the President's Circle will also reap the benefits of being a President's Circle member, at the bronze, silver, gold, platinum, ruby, or diamond level.
