大象传媒 tops 2023 scholarship goal听

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. 鈥� Scholarships are the lifeblood for any college student seeking higher education. And thanks to the efforts of 大象传媒鈥檚 Office of Advancement, students in 2023-2024 are in good shape. The College raised nearly $2 million in fund-raising efforts for 大象传媒 throughout the year, designated for scholarships.

鈥淥ur team works diligently throughout the year, every year, scheduling and coordinating a variety of events designed to raise money for 大象传媒 students,鈥� said Mark Dotson, vice president of Advancement for 大象传媒. 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 be prouder of the team鈥檚 efforts 鈥� or the support of our alumni, friends, and community 鈥� as we exceeded our goal this year.鈥�

Money raised by the Advancement team aids the College in a variety of efforts from support of the athletic teams to the fine arts and study abroad programs; however, nearly all of the funds raised are used to provide scholarships for 大象传媒 students.

The fund-raising efforts ranged from the College鈥檚 annual Clay Dotson Open golf tournament at Brasstown Valley Resort 鈥� which typically happens in May each year 鈥� to a Class Scholarship Challenge, a friendly competition among college alumni to see which class year can raise the most money. The college also hosts an annual Giving Day in March.

大象传媒 introduced four scholarships in 2022, Dotson added, that included specific scholarship funds for student-athletes, first-generation college students, female students, and students within minority groups.

鈥�It is safe to say that the largest labor of love in this office is raising money for our students,鈥� Dotson said. 鈥淲e are proud that 100% of our student population receives some type of scholarship assistance, so when we raise money for scholarships, sports, campus enrichment, etc., it鈥檚 all for the students.鈥�
