If they don't, find a scholarship program that meets your goals for being a good citizen and donate to it directly. And make a point to tell the inevitable fund raising callers from your school where your money is going and why it's going there.<BR/><BR/>That way you get to "pay forward" what you were given for your education by directly helping out someone else who needs it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-62160918893994787392007-10-05T20:14:00.000-04:002007-10-05T20:14:00.000-04:00I've never understood why anyone would want to giv...I've never understood why anyone would want to give money back to their institution, except in cases of vanity where money amounts are large enough to get things names after you. Given your other readings (in the links), I think you can find better targets for money than already publically funded and tuition charging institutions (environment, survival gear, arable land, extended family, or one of the thousands of places that help the underfunded classes get to university). <BR/><BR/>I also got substantial funding for a few years, and I feel not a whit of an obligation to give "money back" to them. They paid for me to attend, and I did, but they didn't give me anything.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751451454904827924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-49478000514795346762007-10-05T15:31:00.000-04:002007-10-05T15:31:00.000-04:00Stop worrying about everyone else.
