“I would not be where I am today and would not have the education I have today without donors who gave to scholarships. To have a real college opportunity did not occur until I was able to attend Western.”

“Being from a low-income background, applying scholarships enable me to have opportunities that I wouldn’t have otherwise. My goals are in sight with this opportunity! I couldn’t pick between STEM and non-STEM, so I am doing both! I love learning languages and giving back to my community- which I can do through becoming a physician in underserved areas.”

“Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact of private giving at WKU. From providing scholarships that empower students to administering endowed funds that help make capital projects possible — like the new Gordon Ford College of Business — the College Heights Foundation is a valuable partner, transforming the lives of both current and future Hilltoppers.”
