50-Year Scholarship Fund
As you reflect on KU's storied traditions and look toward the future, we want you, the Class of 1962, to create a permanent legacy. Today, we ask you to consider making a gift toward the 50-Year Class Scholarship Fund, which will provide scholarships for deserving KU undergraduates. About two-thirds of KU students receive financial aid. Last year, 5,800 students received endowed scholarships that totaled $26.4 million, or about 12 percent of all financial aid provided to KU students.
Please consider a gift of $196.20 or any amount significant to you. All donations made, whether to this fund or elsewhere, will be tracked as part of the total gift of the Class of 1962. You are already part of KU's proud past; we invite you to be a part of its future.
You may make your donation online at www.kuendowment.org/50yearscholarship or contact Jamie Gomez at KU Endowment, 785.832.7420.
