Help meet the 1889 Scholarship Support Challenge!
From now until the end of Homecoming (Oct. 2), MMA Board of Trustee Chris Gentry '88 will donate $100 for each new alumnus who joins the 1889 Scholarship Fund campaign — until we reach a total of 200 alumni signed as 1889 Scholarship supporters. That's nearly $13,000 in added impact!
With a recurring gift of $18.89 each month (or $226.68 each year), 1889 Scholarship supporters provide ongoing gifts to support cadet education. Currently, more than 65% of MMA cadets receive financial aid to attend the Academy. Programs like the 1889 Scholarship Fund provide essential financial aid support to families seeking an MMA education for their sons.
Make a difference in the lives of current and future MMA cadets. To become an 1889 Scholarship supporter, click the button below or contact Vice President for Institutional Advancement Rob Silbaugh at 573.581.1776 ext. 230.
