THe PoWeR AND PRoMiSe oF PHiLANTHRoPY Elliott School senior Cory Struble (left) with GW President Steven Knapp. Philanthropy is the key to ensuring that students have access to the superb education and academic resources that GW has to offer. Each gift made to GW’s Power and Promise Fund provides an opportunity for a deserving student to achieve his or her educational goals. Three out of five GW students receive financial aid, and this is possible through the continued support of thousands of donors. “I definitely would not have been able to go to GW without these scholarships. I’m the son of a single mother of two,” said Cory Struble, a senior in the Elliott School. “My scholarships have completely changed my life and opened up opportunities that would have never existed for me. Without them, things would have been very different.” After graduation, Cory plans to attend law school, and he hopes to continue the cycle of giving that provided so many opportunities for him. “It is our duty to give back to the institution that gave so generously to us. Soon it will be our responsibility to ensure that students like us continue to have a place at GW,” Cory said to fellow scholarship recipients at a March 2010 dinner celebrating philanthropy at GW. Gifts to support scholarships and fellowships enable GW to recruit a talented, diverse, and vibrant student body. Students like Cory are a testament to the power and value of philanthropy at GW’s Elliott School of International Affairs. oUR GRATiTUDe Because of the continued support of alumni, parents, friends, and our institutional partners, the Elliott School is in a truly unique position to make a difference in global affairs.
