Refer a student: Gold & White Alumni Grant
You may know college-bound students who would be a great fit for Geneva and who would benefit from a Geneva education. As alumni, when you refer college-bound students to Geneva, you qualify them to receive the gift that only alumni can give, the Gold & White Alumni Grant. The program provides $4,000 over four years to students referred by alumni through the program. In the fall of 2020, it brought 43 students into the incoming freshman class.
This year Geneva College President, Calvin L. Troup, PhD, announces a new Gold & White Challenge to encourage even more alumni referrals. As part of the Challenge, he set the goal of 50 students referred through the Gold & White Program to apply to Geneva by Jan. 1, 2021. We’re at 31 so far—help us reach our goal!
November 30 - #GivingTuesday
The Tuesday after Thanksgiving – #GivingTuesday is a time for us to embrace the spirit of giving, utilizing the power of social media to create a national movement. Coming on the heels of the retail spree that is Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to give back. Watch your email and Geneva social media accounts to spread the word. Visit geneva.edu/give to make a gift on #GivingTuesday.
