Vermont’s colleges and universities are seeing their fundraising figures go up or hold steady despite lingering economic worries.
The Burlington Free Press reports that Middlebury College took in just under $42 million during fiscal year, the most of any school in state. The University of Vermont raised $29 million, a school record and a figure that represents four consecutive years of growth.
Norwich University’s $6.7 million was down slightly from the previous year, but the school is still coming down from its most successful fundraising campaign ever, an effort that raised $82 million by the time it ended in 2009.
