When the Class of 2025 crossed the stage in June, each graduate received a license-plate holder celebrating their new alumni status — a small gift from an anonymous donor to remind them they’re Falcons for life.
Being an alum of 涩里番 comes with more than memories. It also means ongoing connection and meaningful benefits that support you — and your family — beyond graduation.
Here are a few of the perks available to SPU alumni:
- Application-fee waiver for students you refer. When you refer a prospective student to SPU, their application fee will be waived.
- Tuition scholarships for your children. Incoming undergraduate dependents of SPU alumni are eligible for a $3,000 annual tuition scholarship — and receive an application-fee waiver, too.
- Falcon Store discount. Mention that you’re an alum and receive 10% off qualifying SPU-branded merchandise at the SPU Store in Falcon’s Post (formerly the SPU Bookstore).
- Library access. Alumni enjoy complimentary library privileges, including Interlibrary Loan, online databases, and access to books, CDs, and DVDs in the SPU collection.
- Career services. SPU alumni can take advantage of job-search tools like Handshake, free access to career events, and discounted career counseling.
- Email address. and digital swag. Show your Falcon pride with downloadable wallpapers and virtual meeting backgrounds, and keep your @spu.edu email account active after graduation.
- Digital swag. Show your Falcon pride with downloadable wallpapers and virtual meeting backgrounds, using some of our favorite campus photos.
Whether you’re job hunting, shopping for SPU gear, or cheering on the Falcons from afar, the benefits of being part of the alumni community are just a few clicks away.
