Thorsen NAMED SCHOLARSHIP DONORS At Cedarville University, we appreciate our named scholarship donors! They have provided tremendously for so many of our students, all while honoring family members or friends who had a significant influence in their lives. Without support from churches, individuals, and families through named donor- funded scholarships, many Cedarville students and their families would have to confront significant financial pressures. Students often testify how the awarding of a donor-funded scholarship has served as a reminder of God’s provision while they pursue their passion. BY THE NUMBERS 15 new named scholarships established. More than 525 named scholarships presented. More than $925,000 in named scholarships awarded. WILLIAM GIBSON SOCIETY cedarville.edu/gibson William Gibson Society members have elevated Cedarville to family status by including us in their estate plans. We could not be more grateful for their commitment to preserve Cedarville’s heritage and ensure its future for generations to come. These special alumni, parents, staff, faculty, and trustees make long-term investments to provide for student scholarships and academic programs.
