THE ANNUAL FUND
​
The Annual Fund is the school's most important source of revenue other than student-athlete tuition.
-
It is a vital part of the annual operating budget, contributing to every part of the school's operation.
-
Tuition and fees cover approximately 80 percent of the cost of the KMS experience.
-
Private support of individuals — alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, faculty, staff, and corporations and foundations — is an integral part to offering the many aspects of a unique KMS experience.
Gifts to the Annual Fund help to offset student tuition. Participation in the Annual Fund shows your support of KMS and makes a direct impact in the lives of KMS student-athletes. The annual giving campaign begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 every year. There are numerous Ways to Give or Give Online.
