Everything you love about Roeper is made possible by the generosity of our community. People like you—parents and grandparents, alumni and trustees, faculty, staff, and friends—reaffirm and enrich our historical and pioneering standing.
Though significant, tuition alone does not fully cover the cost of Roeper’s unmatched commitment to educating gifted students. Nor can tuition alone provide the substantial funds needed for robust financial aid, exciting capital improvements to our campuses, or an endowment that secures Roeper’s excellence in perpetuity.
Roeper depends on donations to provide these top-notch opportunities and resources for our students. We count on you, and we appreciate your support.
We welcome your questions. Please email Denita Banks-Sims, Director of Development and Publications or by calling (248) 203-7312.

The Roeper Annual Fund
The Annual Fund supports everything from faculty salaries and professional development to financial aid and technology—all of which fuel student engagement, learning, and success. Your support of the Annual Fund ensures we continue to build a vibrant and dynamic community for every student who calls Roeper home. We humbly ask that all members of our Roeper community consider participating in annual giving, no matter the amount. That allows funds to be directed right back to the Roeper community to sustain our facilities, programs, technology, personnel, and so much more.
