The latest from the Office of Program Development

Season’s greetings…and thank you!

What an amazing year! Thanks to your support, the Our Time Has Come (OTHC) endowed scholarship is growing and the Office of Program Development is stronger than ever.

But our work is not done. Did you know that 80 percent of qualified OTHC scholarship applicants go unfunded? You can change that.

Make a gift to the Black and Hispanic Undergraduate Scholarship Fund by midnight, December 31, to qualify for $250,000 in matching funds from Invest Syracuse. Your gift is tax deductible and will have even greater impact for our Black and Latino students!

Give now

We thank you and wish you the happiest of holidays!
