Student Annual Fund Campaign

What's the Student Annual Fund Campaign?

The Campaign is designed to raise students’ awareness of the importance of philanthropy in higher education. By creating a culture of philanthropy among our students, we hope they will see the value in giving back today, tomorrow and year after year. Therefore, a tradition of providing aid for students who will walk their same footsteps in the future will be instilled.  

Why?

The program is designed to:

• Teach students about philanthropy

• Create a tradition of giving back

• Educate students about financing education at GMC

• Encourage student support in the form of time, talent and financial resources now and in the future

• Help GMC meet its challenges as an institution

• Instill a lifelong relationship with GMC

Who?

The Student Annual Fund Campaign is delivered with the support of the Office of Institutional Advancement and the Student Advancement Council.
