BIG DREAMS BEGIN WITH GIVING

Every year, Guilford awards hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to our students. These funds help make the Guilford experience more attainable to everyone, ensuring that our education is available to all those who so desire it. It is our responsibility to maintain this promise of education and to provide assistance to those who need it.

Help students like Maria and Abbie achieve their dreams by donating to a scholarship fund at www.giving.guilford.edu/ makeagift.

Abbie Worsham '20, a recipient of the Samuel F. and Amy L. Wishon Family Scholarship, looks forward to taking her Guilford values out into the larger world.

I’m very grateful to have received the support of the Samuel F. and Amy L. Wishon Family Scholarship. I’ve loved my time here, and I’m thankful to all of the people and organizations that have played a part in making me a soon to-be graduate. Scholarships provide opportunities to help everyone get an education despite their socioeconomic status. This allows more opportunities for everyone educationally and professionally, which in turn leads to greater success as people feed back into their communities. Scholarships can change someone’s life and give them the chance to achieve something they didn’t think was possible.

Abbie Worsham is a senior at Guilford majoring in Business Administration.

Maria Peralta Porras '20 is a recipient of multiple scholarships, including the BAGC Boost Award.

Scholarships have affected my life completely — if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be here. Many scholarships help students when they’re in crisis, and having that reassurance is really great. It really sucks having to worry about money and trying to worry about school at the same time. Guilford definitely helps with that.
