I graduated from my undergrad in 2000, and I donate every year. I am not donating thousands of dollars, since I am giving from a civil service salary, but I give some every year. My undergrad had good financial aid that helped me through, and it provided a wonderful education. There was not a single worthless class in my entire undergraduate education. I want to help others attend the college, and I want it to prosper. It was a liberal arts college of with 1000 students.
I graduated with my master's degree in 2002. The program was mediocre, and financial aid was minimal. I do not donate, and I am unlikely to do so. It was a nationally acclaimed state school with something like 40,000 students.
One was great and worth supporting, so it is on our list of donations for the year. The other, not so much.
