B-Grand: Unlock a Grand for Bennington

Thank you to the 144 donors who came together in a grand way this June, raising more than $154,000 for Bennington!   

"While Bennington encourages intellectual exploration, I still have space to specialize and hone in on the technical requirements for graduate school as part of a collaborative cross enrollment program at the Community College of Vermont. This experience has prepared me to enroll in a physical therapy graduate program after graduation."

"Bennington provides essential tools to young adults who can in turn bring their light to a world that desperately needs it."   

-Parent of a 2020 graduate

Thank you to all of the Bennington parents who helped unlock a $25,000 donation from a parent of a 2020 graduate! 💚

This parent has just pledged an additional $10,000 if 10 more current parents and parents of alumni make a gift by June 30. 

This spring, my solo songwriting and recording project Bark Dog released an experimental pop/indie rock record called i’ll eat you, i love you, which is now available on Spotify. Watch the video below to hear my favorite song in the blind from this album.

It was an honor to be chosen by my fellow classmates as the senior speaker at Commencement. I grew up in Myanmar, and a college education seemed to me a means to an end. At Bennington, I learned it could be so much more. My education here would not have been possible at all without the generous scholarship granted to me by Bennington. 

These remarkable students have been continuously active in studying the world’s challenges, have taken action to solve problems they see in their advanced work, and have been deeply engaged in what’s happening on campus. Read more about their achievements and future plans.
