Your Impact
When you give to the Goldey-Beacom College Scholarship Fund, you’re helping students like Selena Mayhall ('23 Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology), who shares:
“When I came to Goldey-Beacom, I wasn’t expecting to get a scholarship, but I truly needed it. It meant less assistance on the loan I had to take, so it made it much easier to afford college.”
And students like Maria Bruno ('22 Bachelor of Arts, Media and Communications, '24 MBA, International Business Management), who says:
“My scholarships gave me the opportunity to study here. My scholarships gave me the opportunity to keep playing tennis which is one of the things that I love. It meant I was able to pursue more opportunities for my professional career.”
