The Saint John’s Fellows Society is a distinguished group of alumni, parents and friends who set the pace with an annual gift of $1,000 or more.

This leadership giving began in 1971, when sixty-four people who believed deeply in the educational mission of Saint John’s University each stepped forward with a gift of $1,000. Today, this giving community has grown to over 720 benefactors. 

Why is the Fellows Society so important?

It is the lifeblood of the Saint John’s University Annual Fund.

Fellows’ philanthropy accounts for more than 60 percent of all Annual Fund support. Their generosity enables Saint John’s to make a substantial and sustained investment in our students.

Thanks in large part to the Fellows, Saint John’s is able to provide scholarship and financial aid to over 90 percent of current students. This leadership giving is critically important for the strength and vitality of Saint John’s.
