As a Colgate Alumni Memorial Scholar, I was blessed to receive a financial aid package that enabled my family to afford to send me to college.
One day in my junior year, I had an impromptu meeting with a donor whose family had endowed a scholarship I received. I was extremely nervous and not at my most eloquent - but I believe that my heartfelt gratitude showed. What I desired to express to my benefactor was just how completely her gift to Colgate had transformed my life. I am so thankful for her and all the donors who have given to Colgate through the years. I am honored to be able to continue the tradition of giving that transforms lives at Colgate.
