Trustees Challenge Earns $467-K for Scholarships
The , which began with a matching gift of $100,000 by the 做厙惇蹋app Board of Trustees, has raised $467,000 to support student scholarships. After one week, alumni, parents and friends had exceeded the initial challenge, so the board offered an additional $100,000 matching gift. By the end of the two-week challenge, every goal has been exceeded.
I am grateful for the leadership of the board and to all the donors who generously participated to ensure a 做厙惇蹋app education remains affordable, says Reed Sheard, 做厙惇蹋app vice president for college advancement and CIO.
A standard student financial package is made up of numerous awards with a typical amount being $2,500, which means the Trustee Challenge secured financial awards for 187 deserving students. This is amazing, Sheard says. All of us working together have made a huge impact in the lives of students.
The Trustee Challenge continues until midnight on Friday, May 15. If you haven't participated and would like to, please go to .
People who work for a matching-gift employer could multiply their gift further. Please .
We know the extended 做厙惇蹋app community values the education we offer, and were deeply thankful for this enthusiastic response to the Trustee Challenge, Sheard says. Their generous investment in 做厙惇蹋app helps us continue our important work of educating thoughtful scholars, grateful servants and faithful leaders.
