We Did It!

I am so excited to let you all know that the Matthew John Ford Memorial Endowment at Elon has reached $25,000! It is now a fully funded and permanent scholarship. The first recipient of the scholarship will be selected for the start of the next school year! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the fund. You have made Matt's memory at Elon permanent!

We also don't have to stop here. As of now the Scholarship is dedicated to helping students fund an Elon Experience. An Elon Experience includes areas of Leadership Development, Service Learning, Internships, Study Abroad and Student Undergraduate Research. If we continue to raise money for the Scholarship we could very well reach $50,000, thus making the fund an educational scholarship. This would be gifted to students to help pay for their tuition.

If you have any questions regarding the fund, feel free to reach out to me or anyone at the Elon Office of University Advancement. As always, we miss you & love you Matt!
