Thanks to You
Auggies are engaged in learning and service. Gifts to scholarships at Augsburg help create experiences and opportunities that allow students to focus on their studies, pursue funded research, and study abroad. More than 95 percent of Augsburg students benefit from academic scholarships and grants that support an active education and fund students’ engagement in their communities and the world.
I am extremely grateful for your donations towards my studies. As an international student, this means a lot to me as it opens many doors and opportunities each day I spend here at Augsburg. Most importantly, this gesture gives me motivation and inspiration to work hard in my day-to-day activities. Lastly, I strive to be someone successful and one day come back and do the same as you did for me. – Metti Gari ’20
