Annual Scholarships

Philanthropic investment in annual scholarships empowers students to pursue their ambitions and carry their knowledge and expertise into the communities they will one day serve.

An annual scholarship may be established with a minimum gift of $1,000 and renewed annually at the discretion of the donor.
