Celebrate 150 years of UToledo with us
The University of Toledo has been improving the world since our founding on Oct. 12, 1872, as a public institution. For 150 years, we have been providing a life-changing education to our students.
UToledo's sesquicentennial celebration takes place from now until June 2023. It includes a wide range of events, limited-edition merchandise and more to help recognize the alumni and milestones that have made UToledo an engine for opportunity.
As a part of this historic milestone, the University of Toledo Foundation has launched
a University-wide sesquicentennial campaign. Contributions made to the campaign will
directly support need-based scholarships for deserving students.
Your gift, in any amount, will help unlock a $1.5 million gift and donations of $150
and above will be matched dollar for dollar up to $1 million.
Current Projects
The Foundation is constantly pursuing ways to support the diverse range of colleges and programs at The University of Toledo. Where will you make a difference?

I wanted to pursue and receiving the Educator Diversity Scholarship has relieved a
large stressor for me and my family."
