Annual Scholarship Fund
A fundraiser for Goldey-Beacom College
$10,739 raised from 54 donors
$50,000 goal
No matter when you graduated—whether it was in the post-war boom of the 1950s, the revolutionary 60s and 70s, the high-tech optimism of the 80s and 90s, the early 2000s when Goldey-Beacom went wireless, or even in the uncertain but resilient years surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic —you share something powerful with every current GBC student: you were once filled with hope, uncertainty, and ambition, building a future with the help of people who believed in you.
Now, it’s your opportunity to be that believer for someone else.
Think back to what it was like when you were a student. You may remember stretching every dollar to afford tuition and books. Perhaps you held down a job while balancing full-time classes. Maybe you were the first in your family to pursue higher education, navigating everything from financial aid to finding your place. In those moments, even the smallest act of support—from a professor, a friend, or a scholarship—could change everything.
Today’s students walk the same paths and face many of the same struggles, but the stakes have grown higher. With rising costs and life’s uncertainties, financial barriers often stand between a student and their degree. That’s where the Annual Scholarship Fund comes in—and where your generosity has a real, lasting impact.
When you give to the Annual Scholarship Fund, you're helping real students in real time. Your donation helps a first-generation student stay enrolled during a family emergency. It supports a single parent returning to school after years away. It allows a student on the brink of dropping out to continue and graduate—ready to contribute to their community, their career, and their world.
Your gift doesn’t just support tuition. It fuels dreams, builds resilience, and creates opportunities that echo through generations. You are ensuring that the same transformational experience you once had at Goldey-Beacom College is still available to those coming up behind you.
Goldey-Beacom is more than just a college. It's a community of alumni, students, faculty, and staff who believe in the power of education and the promise of potential. When you give back, you’re not just honoring your own story—you’re helping someone else begin theirs.
No matter the size of your contribution, your support keeps the Goldey-Beacom legacy alive and thriving. Once, someone helped you. Now, it’s your turn to help them Achieve Greater
Your gift will be recognized in the annual GBC magazine, as well as online if you choose.
