Naz Giving Day 2025

The true measure of student success is how well students are prepared to accomplish their current and future academic, personal, and professional goals through the development of knowledge, a sense of responsibility and self-reliance, and a connection to Nazareth and wider community.

Your gift to student support areas sustains critical resources, provides enriching experiences, and makes so much possible for our Golden Flyers.
