Challenge Grants
John D. Bower '57 Veterans Scholarship Challenge
Dr. John D. Bower has donated $250,000 to establish the Dr. John D. Bower Veterans Scholarship Fund. Additionally, Dr. Bower pledges to give another $250,000 to this scholarship fund if the College raises $250,000 in matching gifts and pledges for this scholarship fund by December 31, 2012. This Fund is established for the benefit of veterans of the United States Armed Forces. A portion of this fund shall be distributed annually as scholarships to eligible veteran students. Furthermore, when the fund reaches a level of $750,000 or more through additional gifts, the College will establish the Dr. John D. Bower Veterans Advocacy Center which will provide appropriate military awareness training to faculty, staff, and the campus community as we proactively seek to honor and assist our veterans.
