Gifts That Keep Giving

Howard receives record-breaking contributions

Howard continues to receive record-breaking gifts from alumni and organizations worldwide to help create scholarships, programs, experiential learning opportunities, and more for Howard students. Alumni continue to pay it forward, hoping that their contributions can support current and future students in the same way they were supported during their Hilltop days. As expressed by alumna Kirstyn Martin (BBA ’02), “There are not enough words or anecdotes to express the ongoing value that the Howard experience has provided for me, the foundation that it laid for my life and the way it has equipped me to navigate any environment.”
