TWU University Advancement - Foundation Annual Report 2023

SENIOR GIVING
CHALLENGE
TWU’s senior giving challenge continues to thrive
with each class year surpassing the previous in both
participation and dollars raised. This past year was no
exception with each component seeing double-digit increases.
The senior giving challenge is an annual giving effort where
graduating students give back to their future alma mater at an
amount equal to or greater than their graduation year. 2023
graduating students would give a minimum of $20.23 to earn
their legacy cord to wear at commencement.
While students can give to any area of their choice, more than
75% gave to the Pioneers Pay It Forward Scholarship in 2022-23.
Because of their overwhelming generosity, five seniors, one from
each academic college, will receive a $2,500 scholarship this fall!
I will soon be the first in my family to graduate from college,
and I know the feeling of financial strain. My donation may not
be enough on its own, but I know that it will be one of many
contributions that will add up to be enough for other students.

Thank you so much for
your generous donation.
I have two jobs, but they do
not provide enough
sometimes. This scholarship
means so much to me, and
I have an increased sense
of financial stability and
motivation to complete
my studies.
