Saint Mary's College - Development Office

In its third year, the Reunion Scholars Program has awarded 237 scholarships to Saint Mary’s students. Over 90% of students receive some type of financial assistance; the Reunion Scholars Program helps the College provide the resources needed to meet this need.

For every $5,000 your class raises, one student will be designated as a Reunion Scholar- your Reunion Scholar. Keep in mind all gifts, large or small, can make a significant impact when combined together with other gifts from your classmates.

Without these resources students from diverse backgrounds would not have the ability to attend Saint Mary’s. Your support of your Reunion Gift Campaign and the Reunion Scholars Program provide other young women the opportunity to attend Saint Mary’s.

Thanks to all of you who supported your Reunion Gift Campaign, Reunion Rocked! You raised $1,193,556 for the Saint Mary’s College of today and tomorrow. And a strong showing of 37% of the reunion classes contributed to the campaign to make it the rip-roaring success that it was.

The Reunion Scholars Program raised $361,346 to name 72 Reunion Scholars. Your gift made a difference this year in many ways, especially in the lives of the current and future students. In November you will have a chance to meet your classes’ Reunion Scholars and learn how your gift made a difference in the lives of these young women. Thank you again for all that you have done to help Saint Mary’s continue to educate women who seek to challenge themselves and their world.
