Since it launched in 2017, the “G is for Giving” campaign has raised more than $280,000. In those five years, more than $100,000 has been awarded to UOG students through scholarships, directly impacting their trajectory during their transformation from student to working professional. 

The drive-through event gave community members an opportunity to drop off donations in person, meet the Endowment Foundation team, and receive a goody treat bag with information packets. 

"We had more than 100 visitors drive through," said Jirrah Bautista, associate director of alumni and annual giving for the UOG Endowment Foundation. "It was fun to see the many kids in their costumes while also growing support for the foundation." 

The UOG Endowment Foundation house was decked out in Halloween décor making it a safe, fun way to start the Halloween weekend. 

“Events and activities like this one help bring awareness to students’ financial needs as they pursue their degrees,” said Executive Director Katrina Perez. “The generous donations from the community ensure that we can continue to facilitate programs and scholarships to help UOG students achieve their higher education goals.” 

Scholarships available
Scholarship opportunities set up through the foundation by various companies, organizations, and individuals bring students opportunities to receive awards for the academic year ranging from $500 to $5,000. 

Various scholarships are available now through the foundation. Students have until 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 24, to apply.
