Upon arrival in 2003, President Emeritus Philip A. Glotzbach and Marie Glotzbach committed to expanding access for talented students from all backgrounds by increasing scholarships and financial aid. Since then, Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æâ€™s financial aid budget has more than tripled.

Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ financial aid budget is more than $47.2 million today

400 gifts = 1 Glotzbach Scholar

For every 400 donors, one new Glotzbach Scholar will be funded by leadership donors. A gift of any amount to the Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ Fund — or to any area of the College — will count toward this effort.

"Years ago, if someone told me I was going to play hockey at Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ College, I wouldn't have believed them for a second. Because I'm a first-generation college student and opportunities like this didn't seem possible ... Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ may have changed my life, and my family's life forever."
