The Parents Fund

The Parents Fund provides crucial resources to enhance student life and learning. At Bentley, tuition covers approximately 89 percent of a student's education and university experience. The funds generated by the Parents Fund play a vital role in bridging that gap, allowing the university to direct resources to where they are most needed. By supporting the Parents Fund, you can make a real difference in the lives of current Bentley students.

  • Arts and cultural programming that brings theater, dance, music and other creative arts to the Bentley campus
  • State-of-the-art fitness equipment promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles
  • Leadership development programs for students in every major
