In Sincere Appreciation

We deeply appreciate the many generous friends of UHD who are ensuring the success of the Red Rose Ball by establishing permanent scholarship funds for the Red Rose Scholars.   For years to come, each $60,000 endowment will generate interest income to underwrite one $3,000 scholarship per year.

Rising tuition costs have made it increasingly difficult for many students to remain in school and realize their dream of receiving a degree. By enlisting the support of 25 special donors and establishing a permanent endowment of $1,500,000 for the Red Rose Scholarships, the university can begin leveraging the Red Rose Ball to its fullest potential for community support. These are a few of the reasons why we earnestly hope you will favorably consider becoming a Red Rose Scholarship Endowment donor.

If you are interested in establishing a Red Rose Scholarship Endowment or would like to receive more information, please contact Gilda Parker, Director of Constituent Relations and Special Events, at 713-221-8563 or parkergil@uhd.edu.
