Purdue has met or exceeded goals in four out of five of the campaign's target areas:
* $228 million for student support, which is 114 percent of the $200 million goal. Funds raised for student support go toward funding merit-based and need-based scholarships for recruitment, retention, and advancing diversity.
* $225 million for faculty support, which is 113 percent of the $200 million goal. Faculty support funds go toward faculty training, endowed chairs and professorships, conference participation, enhancing diversity, and providing other resources.
* $450 million for programs, which is 150 percent of the $300 million goal. Funds raised for programs help support experiential learning, research centers, community service, diversity programs, extension programs, and partnerships between business and industry.
* $236 million in unrestricted funds, which is 118 percent of the $200 million goal. Unrestricted funds allow the University to allocate money where the need is the greatest. Examples include study abroad opportunities for faculty and students and supplementing scholarship support and facility construction and renovation projects.
* $570 million for facilities and equipment, which is 95 percent of the $600 million goal. In addition to improving Purdue’s physical infrastructure, funds for facilities also go toward improving the infrastructure of the University's information technology network. Forty-three capital projects were funded by The Campaign for Purdue.
