Why I give

My journey

“I was fortunate to be chosen for a significant scholarship to attend Messiah. So while there were many lean years in my early medical training, I finished my education without debt. I know that my experience is not the norm, so I want to at least return the amount of my scholarship so that current and future students can have a similar head start in their lives and careers.”

The “why”

“I believe that most alums are already quite generous. The challenge is usually balancing competing and worthy causes seeking contributions. Clearly, giving to a local church and to support concrete needs in your home community are most important. However, past that, there are few more worthy causes than contributing to the education and, by extension, personal development of young Christian professionals.”
