Making A Gift To Your University

Originally founded by the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration in 1890 as a teachers college, in Lafayette, Indiana, Saint Francis College was moved to Fort Wayne in 1944. The University of Saint Francis has grown beyond those origins and has expanded its courses of study.

Today, the University offers 13 Associate Degree Programs, 38 Bachelor Degree Programs, 15 Graduate Degree Programs and has achieved national recognition.

The university has grown from 76 students in 1944 to an institution of more than 2,000 students. The impact of the university on the region is increasing every year and USF graduates are taking their places as business and community leaders in ever-increasing numbers.

In fact, over thirty percent of the university’s alumni graduated in the last 15 years. Nearly seventy percent of the university’s alumni live in Indiana and over thirty percent still live within a 10 mile radius of downtown Fort Wayne. The University of Saint Francis is a major force in the region and its impact is growing every year.

Each year the University of Saint Francis prepares hundreds of graduates, personally and professionally, for service in area businesses and organizations.

Nearly every USF student receives some form of financial support from the university and without this assistance many students would not have the opportunity to obtain a higher education.
