About the Alumni Scholarship Program
Gonzaga University’s Alumni Scholarship Program began with $900 in 1978. Today, thanks to the generosity of our donors such as you, our program has awarded students more than 905 scholarships totaling over $1.6 million.
To be eligible for the scholarship, recipients must have a family member who graduated from Gonzaga and must apply for the award. A committee of Alumni Association board members reviews the applications, which include an essay, list of community service activities, academic achievement and financial aid. The top applicant is awarded the $15,000 Leppek Award while the next receives the $10,000 Schafer Family Award. Additional scholarships of $5,000 and $2,500 are given based upon the same criteria, until all funds are expended. Last year, 44 students received scholarships totaling $165,000.
The annual Scholarship Benefit is the Alumni Association’s premier event to promote and raise funds for the Alumni Scholarship Program. This limited-capacity event gives away items of high-value to the attendees, from a new car or $10,000 cash to vacation packages and so much more. Held on the picturesque grounds of the Bozarth Retreat Center, attendees enjoy food, fun, drinks and the opportunity to contribute to a Gonzaga education.
