Scholarships listed without beneficiaries will be awarded to students at a later date. We have made every effort to include recipients and donors at today’s event; unfortunately, it is not possible for everyone to attend.

WelcomeToday, we celebrate your philanthropy.

I’m still in my first year as president, and already I have seen firsthand that American University is a community of passionate changemakers. From the excellence of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni, to our pathbreaking research, AU is reaching new heights.

You are part of this success. Your generosity opens the door to an AU education. Your gifts ensure that bright, hard-working students—like those who are with us today—can pursue all that our university has to offer.

At AU, we’re committed to meeting 100 percent of our incoming students’ demonstrated financial need. To meet this commitment, and sustain this aid throughout a student’s time at AU, philanthropic support like yours plays a critical role. The scale of your impact is enormous. Each year, almost 500 students receive support from donor-funded scholarships. Donors like you have endowed more than 350 scholarships, securing support for generations of Eagles to come.

Today, you have a chance to see the gift you have given our community. Our student scholarship recipients will make you proud. Their achievements reflect your thoughtful investment, and I’m delighted that you are here to meet them today. We cannot thank you enough.

Sylvia M. Burwell
