Class Gift

A group of your classmates have generously committed the monies needed to endow a scholarship in your class's name ahead of your 50th reunion year in 2028.

The Class of 1978 Endowed Scholarship was established by members of the Class of 1978 as a gift to the College in recognition of their upcoming 50th reunion in 2028. Income from this Fund is distributed yearly to benefit one or more first year students who, like many in the Class of 1978 once did, need financial assistance to pursue their education. The Scholarship is awarded to first year students who had a 3.0 or higher grade point average upon being accepted as a Westminster student. The Scholarship is awarded by the Office of Financial Aid. Regular periodic gifts and one-time gifts to the Fund come from members of the Class, from their friends and family, and from those wishing to contribute in memory of a deceased member of the Class.

The campaign and fund are now open to accept gifts from all classmates with hopes of growing the fund to make an even larger impact on supporting students.

If offering a planned or stock gift, please view the next section below.
