When the one-year Power of One scholarship campaign was launched, the goal was to raise $8 million by the end of 2014, a very ambitious goal. After the original goal was surpassed by June, an even more ambitious goal was set — to raise $12 million by the end of December! Thanks to the support of you, our alumni and friends, that goal was met and $12,050,073 was raised for FHSU students.
