Appreciating the legacy a scholarship offers, in 2002 President Emeritus Oscar Anderson established the Leola G. Anderson Scholarship in Mathematics to honor his wife.

"My wife had a love of math, but was a very modest person. I wanted to do something to honor her, so with the agreement from my family, the Leola G. Anderson Scholarship in Mathematics was established."

 

When you help Augsburg achieve its annual giving goals, you provide opportunities to students who may never have been able to attend college. For many Augsburg students, especially those who are first-generation college students , cost is a significant barrier to obtaining a college degree.

With more than 80 percent of Augsburg students receiving financial aid, annual giving is an important way for donors to help ensure that all talented students have the opportunity to receive an Augsburg education.

To ensure no talented student is ever turned away due to an inability to pay, Augsburg must increase the number of participants and the level of support to The Augsburg Fund, which provides financial aid and other operating needs of the College. The campaign goal is to nearly triple annual fund giving dollars over five years by alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations, and to reach a 30 percent alumni participation rate.
