Endowed Scholarship Opportunities
Walker students often benefit from scholarships funded by alumni and friends of Appalachian, but the need for additional support is great. Less than 10% of the 2,300 students enrolled in the college receive scholarship funding. This support has a great impact on the students who receive these scholarships. Please consider supporting an existing scholarship or create a new scholarship in someone’s honor or memory to support future Walker students.
Make a pledge online or contact Peter Vandenberg at vandenbrgpl@appstate.edu or 828.262.6231 for information about these or other opportunities to give back to Walker.
