Named Scholars Program

With a gift of $5,000 to the Bates Fund, you can create a Named Scholarship: a need-based scholarship grant, in your name or the name of a loved one, to a Bates student.

In the video story below, Geri FitzGerald ’75 and Kristen Gavin ’12 explain the Bates Fund’s Named Scholars Program.

• Your gift provides need-based scholarship assistance, in your name or the name of a loved one, for a student in the current academic year.
• You will receive an activity report about your scholarship recipient.
• Donors typically receive correspondence from their Named Scholar and often have the opportunity to meet their student at a campus event.
• Your gift of a Named Scholar grants you membership in the Mount David Society, the special organization of Bates Fund leadership donors.
