Your Impact
Walker College students are the business leaders of tomorrow. Your support, coupled with an App State Education, will position them for success. Here are a few examples of how your investment in funds like the Dean’s Club helps us provide the best educational environment.
- Student scholarships: More than $600,000 is awarded annually through 400+ awards. While we are grateful so many students are receiving help, our needs are still great. Only 10% of our students currently receive scholarship funding.
- Travel funding: Financial support can subsidize the travel expenses for our students and faculty when they attend conferences and workshops.
- Bringing business leaders to the classroom: Each year business leaders share professional experiences and advice with students during the Carole Moore McLeod Entrepreneur Summit and other college events.
We welcome the opportunity to help you fulfill your personal philanthropic interests. Contact us to start a conversation or give online.
