Blugold Promise Scholarship
Support the Blugold Promise
This scholarship is agreement between you and a deserving student that provides access to higher education while holding them to a high academic standard. Establish a Blugold Promise Scholarship fund in your name, or in honor or memory of someone you care about.
Help a promising student with limited financial means achieve their educational goals.
Here’s how it works:
- You make a gift of $4,000 or more over a four-year period.
- The Foundation directs your funds to motivated, responsible students.
- The student promises to make the most of their education and your gift.
- Incoming freshmen receive at least $1,000 and if they remain in good academic standing, a renewal scholarship of at least $1,000 is provided for up to three more years.
Would you like to ensure ongoing scholarship funding? With a commitment of $30,000 or more over a five-year period, you can endow a Blugold Promise Scholarship, like the John Kell Memorial Blugold Promise Scholarship established in 2006.
Help ensure the dream of a college education for many turns into a reality. Contact us to establish a Blugold Promise Scholarship.
