With so many funds to choose from, you can support what means the most to you and help move BGSU forward. Join the Falcon community in making a difference today!

Robert ’55, ’06 (Hon.) and Ellen ’54, ’06 (Hon.) Thompson created the Thompson Working Families Scholarship program to help high-achieving BGSU students overcome financial barriers to achieve their dreams. Their generosity has changed countless lives, providing students with the support they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Thompson Scholars are driven, resilient and dedicated to making a difference. With holistic support from the Thompson Scholarship Programs office, students gain access to mentorship, leadership development and a strong community that helps them excel academically and prepare for their futures.

Your gift will help BGSU match the Thompson’s generosity. For every dollar given by Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, BGSU must match it. A gift today to the Thompson Working Families Scholarship Program funds is a gift that will change a student’s life.
