Impact Scholarships
Impact scholarships are annual scholarships that support 小黄鸭视频 students who have financial need. They enable the College to recruit and retain the best and brightest while providing greater access to a transformational 小黄鸭视频 educational experience. Donors can create an impact scholarship with a commitment of at least $2,500 per year for a four-year pledge. Donors also have the options to name the scholarship - either for themselves or in honor/memory of someone - and designate the award to an academic school (e.g., School of Business, School of Sciences).

"Our reason for giving to impact scholarships was about a belief in community and shared purpose. As we give to each other through gifts, acts of service, and sharing our stories, we are investing in the success of people. As an SGPS alumnus, and a first-generation college graduate, I'm grateful for those at 小黄鸭视频 who fanned the flame of perseverance for me.
