NYU Shanghai is China’s first Sino-US research university and the third degree-granting campus of the NYU Global Network. NYU Shanghai seeks to cultivate globally minded graduates through innovative teaching, world-class research, and a commitment to public service. The student body currently consists of nearly 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students, half of whom are from China. Students from the United States and some 70 other countries represent the other half. The first cohort entered the school in 2013 and graduated in 2017, and in their senior year, they founded the NYU Shanghai 2013 Fund to leave a legacy to the incoming cohorts of students.

Why 2013 and $20.13? With a contribution of $20.13 in recognition of NYU Shanghai's founding year, you will make a difference in the life of a fellow NYU Shanghai student by helping to create much-needed scholarships.  

How can I donate? By clicking the giving buttons! Or find us on campus throughout the year.

When can I donate? There is no time like the present! Your gift will be included in the Class of 2026 fundraising efforts when you make your contribution today or anytime before August 31, 2026. From September 1st your donation will be counted toward the Class of 2027's fundraising efforts. 

Who can donate? Anyone is welcome to donate to the 2013 Fund. We especially encourage the alumni from the classes of 2017-25 to give, but we welcome contributions from all classes and supporters of NYU Shanghai.

What if I am not able to donate the full $20.13, can I still donate what I have? Absolutely! The number of people who get involved is just as important as the amount of scholarship raised. 

Why should I give?

  • It helps create scholarships for incoming students at NYU Shanghai. 100% of your donation goes directly to scholarships for incoming freshman classes.
  • It increases NYU Shanghai's global rankings. Senior class giving is factored into its assessment as a world-class school by external organizations.
  • Almost every college across the country has a senior giving campaign, which is used as a metric to see how universities “measure up." It shows your commitment to the next generation of NYU students.
