Your Impact: A Student’s Perspective

There are many ways you can make an impact on our students through a gift to ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú. Whether you give online today, make a pledge to fulfill over a period of years, or include ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú in your estate, your support helps our students reach new vistas where the future is a frontier—vast and full of opportunity.

Being a scholarship recipient has allowed me to focus my time on honing career skills, being an active member of campus, and excelling in my classes. Without my scholarship, I would be stressed trying to juggle long hours of work and school to try and cover my education expenses. My scholarship allows me to put being the best student I can first and put potential financial burdens on the back burner.

Why We Give: A Donor’s Perspective

When I had a shortfall of funds one semester, I can recall a professor calling financial aid and explaining my situation. Luckily, I was awarded a scholarship and able to continue my education at ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú. This is why I have chosen for the last 20 years to support student needs by being a monthly ÿÈÕ´óÈüÈë¿Ú donor. From my personal experience, I can tell you that we make a profound difference in student lives. And… it just feels good to be part of that process!
