Recipient/Donor Highlights

Scholarship assistance makes a lasting difference in the lives of so many of our students who are often unable to afford the cost of a college education.

Endowed Scholarship Donors Meet the Students Whose Lives They've Changed
Donors of endowed scholarships enjoyed an opportunity to meet and become acquainted with the students who benefit from their generosity at the Endowed Scholarship Donor Brunch on Sunday, April 13.  95 donors and scholarship recipients came together in the Mattone Atrium of St. John’s School of Law to acknowledge each other and reflect on their mutual love for and commitment to St. John’s University.  Read more and view photos from the event.

Scholarship Receptions Held for Students
Students who received endowment dollars to assist with their tuitions during the 2007-2008 academic year attended student scholarship receptions on November 13 and November 15 on the Staten Island and Queens campuses.  The receptions served to educate students about the origins of their scholarship dollars and foster in them a sense of gratitude for their donors.

Getting to Say Thanks
In April 2007, St. John’s held the Inaugural Scholarship Donor Reception where students had the opportunity to meet their benefactors face-to-face.  Both students and donors were grateful for the chance to learn more about each other.  Read more and view photos from the event.

Help St. John’s attract the best, the brightest and the most deserving by supporting scholarships for students in need.
