About

Changing Lives, Together

Will you make a gift on Scholarship Day of Donors to help build futures for HWS students? Join our goal of reaching 500+ donors in 24 hours. The first $50K in gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar!

A NEW WORTHY TRADITION: We raised over $1 million in 24 hours during our Athletics Day of Donors. We can’t wait to count you among the many who helped launch a new tradition to increase access to a transformative HWS education. 

IMPACTING 50+ LIVES TOGETHER: With 96% of HWS students receiving merit scholarships or need-based aid, your support will directly impact attracting and retaining talented students. Every $25,000 raised supports five student scholarships for the next academic year – we need your help building over 50 student futures in 24 hours.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT thanks to an incredible $50,000 match from John A. Manley ’64, P’93. 

The first $50K in gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Double your investment. Double your impact. 

Help celebrate HWS Faculty on Scholarship Day of Donors for their connections to students 

and the lives they change. Below, you can write or record a tribute to a beloved past or current 

faculty member during SDOD. Fun fact: it’s also National Teacher Appreciation Day!

Thank you again!

There is still time!

Some great photos from day one of the first-ever Scholarship Day of Donors. Students came and showed their gratitude to HWS faculty throughout the day and continue to do so today! 

Students are learning about the importance of philanthropy and helping create more scholarships throughout this 24-hour period. 

Just one hour left to help us reach our donor goal. Please go to www.HWS.edu/SDOD23 and give before NOON! Any amount helps.
