Get-Engaged-families

In the Office of Family Engagement, we collaborate with families who wish to partner with us to enhance the educational experience for students at High Point University through the investment of their time and resources.

Please consider making a meaningful annual gift to the HPU Fund for Extraordinary Education. Regardless of the amount, your gift sends a powerful message that HPU Families believe that this institution is preparing each of our students for a life of success and significance. Additional engagement and philanthropic opportunities are available to those families who choose to join the Parents Council or the President’s Leadership Cabinet.

For families of senior students, we ask you to consider honoring your senior through the Legacy Program. We hope that you will remain engaged with HPU after Commencement by joining the Forever Families Program.

We also aid the office of Career and Professional Development in identifying those families willing to FIND, FORM or FUND an internship experience for our students. Click here to learn more about how you and your company can participate.
