President's Circle
The President's Circle recognizes and honors alumni, parents, and friends committed to investing in the future of WPI at a leadership level. Today, nearly 400 President's Circle members provide the critical resources necessary each year to advance the mission of WPI. Your investment at the President's Circle level enables the university to implement curricular innovations, keep the WPI Plan on the cutting edge, and create more opportunities for our deserving students to discover, achieve, and lead.
Corporate matching gift programs can make membership in the President's Circle more attainable, allowing you to double or even triple your gift to WPI. Contact your company's Human Resources office for more details on the matching gift process, or check our searchable database for details about your company's policy.

To encourage leadership giving among our youngest alumni, membership in the President's Circle is an annual gift of $1,000 for graduates out fewer than 10 years. This year, those would be the classes of 2001 to 2009.
Membership is based on the total of an individual's personal gifts and corporate matching gifts during a single fiscal year. The WPI fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. President's Circle commitments may be paid at any point during the 12 months, but must be fulfilled by June 30 of each year.
President's Circle Scholarships
Tuition at WPI currently stands in excess of $36,000. President's Circle members have a special opportunity to help a deserving student in need meet this expense with a term scholarship. Donors who commit $8,000 annually for a minimum of three consecutive years may fund an annual term scholarship in their own name or in honor of someone else.
