YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT

The Gap Scholarship helps to take my mind off of my finances and provides the time I need to really focus on my academics instead.

Did you know that students with the greatest need experience, on average, a $5,500 gap in funding their education each year after their financial aid package is applied? More than 170 first years this past fiscal year experienced a gap in funding their education.

Kaela Ewing transferred to Guilford her junior year, and was met with supportive professors and the college experience she deserves. Thanks to the Penny Stiffler ’63 Gap Scholarship, Kaela is able to pursue her degree in Forensic Biology and continue her minor in Photography.

When donors like Penny financially support a Gap Scholarship, they create opportunities for students to have an education they wouldn’t have otherwise. The Gap Scholarship Program ensures students have the financial support they need to stay in college all four years.

If you are interested in supporting one of these Gap Scholarships for next fiscal year, contact Ara Serjoie, Vice President for Advancement, at serjoiea@guilford.edu or 336.316.2320.
