OSU Veterinary Center Announces a $1,000,000 Alumni Campaign

(July 1, 2010 Stillwater, OK) – The Oklahoma State University Veterinary Alumni Association has launched a $1 million campaign for veterinary student scholarships as part of the university’s Branding Success Campaign. The goal is to have 1,000 alumni and friends of the veterinary center each donate $1,000 to create a $1 million endowment called “The Alumni and Friends Endowed Scholarship Fund.”

Gifts/pledges received before October 31, 2010, that total $50,000 or more are eligible for the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Matching Funds. If 1,000 donors pledge $1,000 each, a fund of $1 million will be created and when matched by the Pickens Legacy Matching Fund, a $2 million endowment would be created!
