Your gift matters.

Robert Morris University's highly-individualized approach to education gives our students the confidence to try, the freedom to fail, and the support to try again. In this way, our students learn to see their potential. More importantly, they learn to achieve it. It's this experience that has set RMU apart for over a century and none of it would be possible without the support of our donors. When you support RMU, you help to make a college degree more accessible and allow our students to focus on their studies rather than on how to make ends meet.
