Scholarship Benefit Gala

One Event. Hundreds of Futures.
Thank YOU for an unforgettable evening in support of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ students!

 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ welcomed alumni, donors and community partners to campus April 18 for the annual Foundation Scholarship Benefit Gala, raising nearly $340,000 for Foundation scholarships.

We are a community of opportunity … a place where our students are seen, supported and inspired to soar higher. We want you to connect with our students and see firsthand the impact of your support and all you do to make Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ so special.
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ President Joe Bertolino

My scholarship has provided me with the gift of time. Instead of worrying about how to pay for classes, I can fully focus on my studies, participate in extra activities on campus and gain valuable experience through internships that are important for my future career.
