Giving back starts on campus.
Student philanthropy has been a long-standing tradition at the Academy, a chance to make a direct impact while you’re here.
By investing in Exeter as a student, you’re helping to create an Exeter that matters to you. You can make a difference in your day-to-day — and support the next generation of Exonians.
With your contribution, campus becomes a reflection of the values and beliefs that make the Academy an unparalleled experience for you and others.
As a current student, use this page as a resource to guide you through student philanthropy at Exeter.
What is The Exeter Fund?
In short, it provides vital resources that enable the Academy to sustain the hallmarks of an Exeter education. Things like small class sizes, a robust course catalog and superb faculty.
Meet the STARs Council
The Student Alumni Representative Council (STARs) works to raise awareness about the impact alumni have on the Exeter experience. Through events, community outreach and more, STARs is your on-campus resource to all things philanthropy.
Support What Matters to You
Every gift makes a difference — and you can choose where yours goes. Whether you're passionate about financial aid, academics, the arts, athletics, or another area, learn how your support helps shape Exeter for current and future students.
Senior Class Gift: Giving starts November 5
Exeter's senior class holds a year-long fundraiser each year to raise funds for The Exeter Fund. Seniors are encouraged to participate and help the senior class reach 100% participation. Who will be the first to give?

Student Philanthropy by the numbers
Save the Date: Knowledge and Goodness Day
Did you know tuition covers just a third of the actual cost of an annual Exeter experience? It’s the support and generosity from our donors that makes the remainder of the Exeter experience possible.
Knowledge and Goodness Day 2025 is Friday, December 5. Held annually, this on-campus event is meant to bring awareness to the time when tuition ends and philanthropy begins.
The STARs Council leads this annual initiative to raise awareness among students about the power and impact of philanthropy on campus. From academics and athletics to financial aid and student life, generous contributions are the missing piece that help make a full Exeter experience—for everyone—possible.
