Graduating seniors: Check out the Pay It Forward Program

Monday, April 1st, 2019

Graduating seniors, do you know about the Pay It Forward Program?

By opting to donate all or half of your remaining enrollment deposit, you can help other George Fox students. One-hundred percent of your gift will support a fellow student who is unable to continue their education or an alumnus who has a remaining amount due to the university.

Recipients are nominated by faculty and staff members, then vetted for eligibility, and allocations are made by the Pay It Forward Award Committee. As part of the program, awardees are asked to continue the generosity by “paying it forward” in the future.

Learn more about this amazing program during Exodus at the Student Accounts table, or contact Heidi Thomason at hthomaso@georgefox.edu for more information.
