#BearcatsGive

 

There are many ways to support your alma mater and its Alumni Association. UC alumni have a proud history of giving back to their university, we're grateful for your ongoing support.

Donations to the UC Alumni Association support our programming and enable us to sustain a strong organization to serve the university and its graduates. We encourage all alumni to join the Loyal Bearcat Society by making a gift to any UCAA fund. Your membership will last for one year from the date it is received, and comes with some additional benefits beyond those available to all alumni. 

Beyond financial support, UC thrives on the engagement of its alumni, whose giving of time and talent in service to students and alumni is also a treasured form of support and makes a significant impact on the entire UC community.

 

LOYAL BEARCAT SOCIETY - Join today by giving to UCAA

Your gift may be designated to one of several specific UCAA funds including the Loyal Bearcat fund to support our greatest needs. Donors who give more than $2,500 in their lifetime become members of the William Howard Taft Society. Life members of the association are also members of this group by default.

 

ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIPS

Through the generous support of UC’s alumni community, the UC Alumni Association awards more than $100,000 each year to approximately 50 exceptional UC students. Current and incoming students are considered for four distinct scholarship opportunities, two of which benefit direct descendants of UC alumni.

 

Christos P. Demakes Legacy Scholarship

Named in honor of past UCAA Executive Director Christos Demakes, this scholarship is given to select first year students and is renewable for up to 4 years while students are studying at UC.

Kacher-Bloom Memorial Scholarship

In recognition and remembrance of former UC students Margaret "Meg" Kacher and Sheri An Bloom. In 1985, UC suffered the loss of both of these promising young women to untimely deaths.

 

UC Faculty and Staff can give via payroll deduction here.
