GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Join the Dean's Club
The Dean's Club is an annual giving society designed to benefit
business students and faculty while enhancing the college's academic
programs. Membership is open to Walker alumni and friends and begins
with a minimum annual contribution of $1,000. Contributions provide
support for critical needs in the college such as student scholarships,
travel funds for faculty and students to attend course-related
conferences and to visit corporations, seed money for new programs, and
resources to bring guest lecturers to the classroom. Pledges are
accepted, and your gift may also be satisfied with a corporate matching
donation. [ more ]
Support William R. Holland Fellows Program for Business Study in Asia
Initiated in 1995, the Holland Fellows exchange gives twelve Walker
students each year the opportunity to travel to China, where they
collaborate with Chinese business students at Fudan University. Your
support ensures that this rich tradition will continue for future
Walker students.

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 for more information on any of these opportunities or to make a pledge or donation to another program or scholarship, please contact Peter Vandenberg at vandenbrgpl@appstate.edu or 828.262.6231.
