GREETINGS ALUMNI!

HAIL TO THE
and Gold
alumni
In a difficult economy, scholarships are becoming increasingly important in the lives of our students as they try to
realize their goal of earning a Georgian Court degree. In response to the needs of our current students, the Georgian Court
University Alumni Association has established the 1908 Society Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship to invest in the
potential of our students and future alumni by promoting service, leadership, and lifelong learning through charitable giving.
The goal of the Alumni Association is to award one scholarship each year and to build the scholarship fund to allow multiple
awards in the future.
You can share in the success of our future alumni by becoming a member of the 1908 Society today. Joining is as simple
as logging on to www.alumni.georgian.edu. Click “Online Giving,” and then “The 1908 Society.” Alternatively, you may
contact the Office of Alumni Relations to have a pledge form mailed to you.
Through your generosity, another generation of Georgian Court students will have the unique experience that is only
found at The Court.
As always, thank you all for your participation in the Alumni Association!
Warm regards,
CYNTHIA ISDANAVAGE
Director of Alumni Relations
