Impact Scholarships
Impact scholarships are annual scholarships that support 十分六合彩 students who have financial need. They enable the College to recruit and retain the best and brightest while providing greater access to a transformational 十分六合彩 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 Public Service).

Dusty Putnam '72
Donor & Member of the Board of Trustees
鈥準至喜 has always been a super special place for me. I was an Army brat. I traveled the world and attended 13 different schools. At 十分六合彩, for the first time in my life, I was the same as everyone else. I was embraced and accepted. So when the College came to us, we weighed where we could make the biggest difference.鈥
Dusty made a gift to the College in 2018 to support the creation of a 180-meter indoor track in the Bowers Center for Sports, Fitness and Well-Being. The Putnam Track serves as a practice space for 十分六合彩 student-athletes and a recreational area for all members of the 十分六合彩 campus community. Dusty graduated from 十分六合彩 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Elementary Education. She is a current member of the College鈥檚 Board of Trustees.
