Loyalty Fund for Student Scholarships
The Loyalty Fund for Student Scholarships is a symbolic and practical expression of a strong belief in the value of a LaGrange College education. Alumni from the 1930s to 2007 join with classmates to help current students attend the College. These classes have funded 186 $1,000 scholarships for the 2007-2008 academic year.
While all contributors deserve recognition, two reunion classes will be lifted up at Homecoming for their exceptional dedication to this cause. The Spirit of LaGrange Award will be presented to the Class of 1942 for demonstrating the highest five-year average for class giving participation, and the Class of 1972 will be recognized with the Alumni Giving Award for the highest five-year giving total. We congratulate these two classes and the entire family of LaGrange College Alumni for an outstanding year of alumni support of students at LaGrange College. Thank you!
Please join alumni volunteers November 11-13 as they gather on campus for the Alumni Givathon, which raises money for the Loyalty Fund for Student Scholarships. For more information, contact the Development Office at 706.880.8039 or development@lagrange.edu. Represent your class at this year’s Alumni Givathon!
