WELCOME
Today we gather for the 18th Annual Celebration of Scholarships
to honor the philanthropy of our donors and the many
accomplishments of American University students. Together,
we share in the joy of giving and the opportunity created
through education.
Ensuring that students have access to education is essential.
Since May 1, 2010, generous individuals have created countless
opportunities for our students through more than $8.4 million
in endowed and current-use scholarship funds, ensuring that the
best and brightest students at American University receive
critical support. These scholarships empower students to excel
and aspire to new and greater heights; minds are opened, and
doors are opened.
Donors, the support you provide for our students is an investment
in our future. You enable students to study with innovative and
creative teachers who inspire great futures. Students, your academic
excellence and your drive give back to your donors and teachers
as you grow in knowledge, contribute to your communities, and
make a positive difference throughout the world.
We thank our donors and our students for finding joy in
education, joy in giving, and for their ongoing commitment
to American University.
“It is the supreme art of the
teacher to awaken joy in creative
expression and knowledge.”
–Albert Einstein
