Give the Gift of Opportunity this Holiday Season
As we approach the season of gratitude and giving , consider the gift of opportunity through establishing a scholarship at GMercyU !
Scholarships fulfill Gwynedd Mercy University ’ s commitment to providing a culture of inclusivity where every student , regardless of financial position , can thrive and develop into a leader with compassion and strong Mercy values .
WHAT WILL A SCHOLARSHIP DO ?
1 . Make education accessible . Financial aid often plays a major role in whether a student can attend GMercyU and have the kind of experience that has enriched the lives of so many .
2 . Attract hard-working , dedicated students committed to their professions and communities . With 100 % of full-time , first-degree students receiving financial aid , scholarships play a critical role in attracting and retaining students to the University .
3 . Teach generosity . Students who receive a scholarship see firsthand how philanthropy can shape a person ’ s life . It may ignite a lifetime commitment to giving back .
4 . Honor a loved one or mentor . Endowed scholarships are a meaningful way to honor a person who had a profound impact on your student life or career . Your tribute will last far into the future .
Setting up a scholarship is easier than you think . You can make this momentous difference in a way that works for you ! Consider the following :
• Recommend grants from your donor advised fund
• Give appreciated assets , such as stock
• Give directly from your IRA ( if 70 ½ or older )
• Make a direct contribution that supports an annual or endowed scholarship fund
