Learn more about your impact
Your gift to the Gerontological Social Work Scholarship supports an endowed scholarship established by Dr. Teri Kennedy in honor of her late parents, Stanley and Bernadine Knutson, and grandparents, Albert and Emma (Spurr) Berg and Selmer and Myrtle (Hyland) Knutson. The scholarship was created in respect for older adults, and in recognition of the critical need for social workers prepared to address the service delivery and policy needs of an aging population.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
We want to show the power of a university to be a difference-making partner in the positive transformation of all communities."
