Make a Gift

As a member of the Global Alumni Board and the Clocktower Society, I have the opportunity to give back to the university that gave so much to me. Being able to pay that forward to newer alumni and current students is a blessing, and I am proud to be a part of a school with an amazing reputation in business, a beautiful campus and a track record of preparing students for future success.

Every dollar invested in me is deeply appreciated and has been a source of inspiration that pushes me to keep going and fuels my desire to learn and grow. Thanks to donor generosity, I am not only fulfilling my parents’ dream for their daughter but also realizing my own dreams. My Bentley scholarship is proof that others recognize my hard work and believe in my potential, and I am incredibly grateful for their faith, support, and financial assistance. Without it, attending this amazing institution would not have been possible. I know that I am one step closer to achieving my goals, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
