Parents & Family Giving



We Love our Tiger Parents and Families!


If you are a parent or family member of a student at the University of Memphis, then you likely have witnessed first-hand how the University is impacting his or her life in very positive ways. Often, students enter as freshmen who are eager and unsure about what college life will demand of them. As they advance through their senior year, they became more confident and mature.

Our campus community is enriched by the support we receive from the parents and family members of our current students. Each year, student callers from the University of Memphis Phonation contact families to share news about university life, upcoming events, the Parents Association, and to seek support from the Parents Fund, McWherter Library, Senior Class Gift fund, and other University initiatives.

The support received through the Parents & Families annual campaign provides students with the best labs, cutting-edge resources, and the finest faculty who care for each student. This means your philanthropic involvement as a UofM family member provides students with exceptional; academic opportunities- beyond what tuition alone can cover.
