Why Become a Donor
Old Dominion University strives to attract the finest students, to help us create the future we foresee. We are committed to making sure every student is successful and finishes all four years of college. When students don’t finish their degrees because they cannot afford to pay, we lose future nurses, teachers, engineers and community leaders who can improve and make a difference in the world. It is our desire that every student who has the capacity to flourish and succeed at ODU will be able to attend the university, regardless of their financial means.
