Dear Purdue Alumni and Friends Your Purdue Club of St. Joseph Valley is a link between the local community and Purdue University. A key aspect of our mission is to raise scholarship money to assist students from St. Joseph County either attend Purdue University in West Lafayette or the Purdue College of Technology on IUSB’s campus. In 2012 the Club again awarded over $20,000 in scholarships! For our efforts and your generous contributions last year the Purdue Alumni Association recognized the St. Joseph Valley Club as a Gold Club and ranked us in the top ten of the 125 Alumni Clubs worldwide. In order to maintain the level of scholarship awards we have achieved we need the help of all Purdue alumni and friends in the area. In these difficult economic times many students need help in continuing their education. What better way is there to prepare for their future than a degree from Purdue University? There are several levels of giving and we would like to encourage you to choose one that you feel most comfortable with and join us in helping send deserving students to Purdue.
