Did you know that tuition covers only 29 percent of Purdue’s expenses? Funding from the state of Indiana covers another 18 percent, which leaves more than half of the budget vulnerable to lack of funding. That's why the University relies on the generosity of alumni, friends, students, and parents.  

Boiler Make a Difference is dedicated to helping students and young alumni understand the importance of philanthropy at Purdue and the impact private funding has on the student experience. Through our programs we spread the message of giving back to make a difference for future students, just as those before us have done.
