50-YEAR REUNION ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP
Every year, the 50-year reunion class has chosen to support the 50-Year Reunion Endowed Scholarship Fund, leaving a meaningful impact during their milestone celebration. This scholarship provides financial aid to deserving Hanover College students with demonstrated financial need, with preference given to second-year students. It also recognizes and rewards students who consistently grow academically by maintaining an improving GPA at Hanover. The fund continues to grow as future alumni classes are encouraged to contribute, especially during their 50th reunions, ensuring its legacy for future generations. Thank you for helping us honor the past while supporting the future! 🐾
Join your classmates in donating to the 50-Year Reunion Endowed Scholarship. Your contribution matters! You can create opportunities for future generations of Hanover College students. The reunion committee expects 100% participation from the Class of 1974. Donate now at https://our.hanover.edu/ways-to-give/50-year-reunion.
