I'm not opposed to donating to my university, but I'm not at the point in my life where I can afford to give large donations and I don't really want to set up recurring donations. When they call I usually give 20 bucks, and I plan on increasing that over time as I get more financially secure. I benefited from scholarships so usually I direct my money to that, as a way of paying it forward. I would like to set up a scholarship fund when I die, but that's wayyyy off (hopefully).
