Stevenson Raises More Than $500K to Fund Rollins Luetkemeyer Scholarships for Middle Income Students

Stevenson University is pleased to announce a total of $548,000 has been raised to provide more than 50 scholarships to Fall 2024 incoming students through the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Scholars Program for Middle-Income Students. The Stevenson community raised $274,000, and that amount was generously matched by the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation, Inc.

The Rollins-Luetkemeyer Scholars Program for Middle-Income Students provides incoming Stevenson students with a $2,500 scholarship for each of their four years, for a total of $10,000. Students with a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher and whose families earn between $75,000 and $175,000 per year are eligible for the scholarship.

"We are grateful to the generosity of the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation, and to everyone who contributed to fund these scholarships," said Elliot Hirshman, Stevenson University President. "I am proud of our community's support of this important program. Every gift provides more students with the opportunity to achieve their educational and career aspirations."

The Rollins-Luetkemeyer Scholars Program for Middle-Income Students was created in December 2022 with an initial pledge of $250,000 in matching funds from the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation, Inc. Through a successful fundraising campaign, Stevenson soon met the initial amount, and the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation agreed to increase its pledge and match up to $500,000 in gifts to expand the program. The Foundation has generously committed to continuing their support and pledge matching for the 2024-2025 academic year.
