“We are especially grateful for the College of Charleston’s liberal arts approach to education. It exposes Morgan to

diversity of thought. She enjoys having a practical major in accounting and a minor in anthropology. That way she is

intellectually prepared and inspired at the same time. The College of Charleston gets our support because of the

people who work there. I can tell they love this institution and they are dedicated to our children.”

“Hank and I love the College of Charleston for our daughters because of its reputable and comprehensive education.

We give to the College because the students feel the impact directly through scholarships, and indirectly through the

superior professors our gifts support. I feel that as small as our donation may be, we do make a difference.”

The Parents’ Fund is a means to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of education. Tuition only pays forone third of the expenses.Gifts to the Parents’ Fund support the programs and people critical to student achievement. Gifts from parents

account for a substantial part of giving to all areas of the College of Charleston. Philanthropic support from parents

serves as a powerful endorsement of the College, and many parents honor the College’s lifelong influence by

continuing to give after their students have graduated. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference!
