Since the HRSM Alumni Society Fund's initial gifts from class of 1986 alumni Cliff Arthur and Rex Galloway, scholarship distributions have grown to as much as $8,500 annually thanks to our many supporters. In 2022, the fund reached an exciting milestone of a $100,000 endowment to ensure scholarship support for generations to come.
The generosity of HRSM Alumni Society Fund donors has allowed dozens of students to gain experiences that impacted them both personally and professionally. From touring renowned fashion houses and international sports venues to attending industry conferences in cities around the world, students who qualify for travel scholarship assistance receive incredible opportunities that impact their education.
In addition to student travel scholarships, the HRSM Alumni Society Fund supports a variety of alumni and student engagement initiatives, including alumni networking events, guest lectures, student welcome events and special gifts to graduating seniors.
This important fund serves the rising needs of our expanding alumni and student population, and having the continued support of donors is vital to its success. Please consider making a gift to support HRSM student travel scholarships and Alumni Society operations. In addition to monetary contributions, you can also donate a prize to our annual homecoming auction.
