In connection with National Scholarship Month in November, the University of Guam Endowment Foundation and several of the foundation’s most generous and longest-term scholarship donors were recognized by the Guam Legislature on Dec. 14. 

Sen. Amanda L. Shelton presented a legislative resolution to the UOG Endowment Foundation and certificates of recognition to endowed scholarship founders, including the late Dr. Charles Parent; Gerry Perez; James and Young Hee Ji; Frederick J. Horecky; the University of Guam’s Society of Emeritus Professors and Retired Scholars; and IT&E Overseas. 

Since January 2000, the UOGEF has awarded $559,890 in scholarships to UOG students and continues to raise funds through campaigns year-round. Its year-end “G is for Giving” campaign is ongoing through tomorrow.
