Ivy Tech Day 2026: One Day. Endless Possibilities.

For more than 60 years, Ivy Tech has changed lives. Today, you can help change even more.

Ivy Tech Day is more than a 24-hour campaign—it’s a powerful moment when alumni, friends, and supporters unite to open doors and create opportunity for our students.

Your gift today will:

Expand access. Scholarships, financial aid, and emergency aid remove barriers so students can begin—and continue—their education.

Fuel success. Essential student services and emergency support keep students moving forward, even when life gets in the way.

Build the future. Cutting-edge programs prepare students for in-demand careers that strengthen our communities.

Your impact reaches students across Kokomo, Logansport, Peru, Rochester, Tipton, and Winamac.

One Day Can Mean Everything. Be the reason a student succeeds. Give today.

BIG Thanks to our Ivy Tech Day PARTNERS!
