“Year over year the support of the Delta Gamma Foundation enables us to employ high-quality staff and run our high-quality preschool for children who are blind or visually impaired. From our founding in 1938 by Delta Gamma alumnae to the support of the Foundation today, we would not be here without the foresight and love of our Delta Gamma family." -Scott Kassel, Director of Development
“The Delta Gamma Foundation Graduate Fellowship will allow me to focus more on my professional goals and less on the financial responsibilities of being a full-time student. I am the first in my immediate family to pursue graduate school and am self-funding my studies. This fellowship not only facilitates my becoming a skilled healthcare professional but also plants a seed in the continued health of our global community.”
“Thank you so much for your generous gift to my family and me. It is so comforting to know that I have the support of Delta Gamma sisters during this rough patch in my life. I hope to one day be on the giving side of this grant rather than the receiving side, but for now, I am forever grateful to you all. Thank you again for your kind hearts and generosity.”
“After I became legally blind, I lost my career, my home and my community. I was grieving, isolated and alone. The readers on my Sun Sounds radio read aloud the local events, weather and grocery ads. Their caring voices were a daily reminder that I still existed, and I still mattered. I hadn’t been forgotten, after all.” – Helen, a Sun Sounds listener
“Receiving this scholarship means the world to me. I feel like I can finally breathe a little easier because I don't have to struggle and wonder how I will begin to pay off the debt that I have accumulated. This scholarship ensures that sisters who need financial assistance to cover their educational costs receive the help they need without having to put their membership on the line.”
“This scholarship will give me back time and energy, that I will be able to put into being the best sister and leader I can be for my chapter this year. It is truly life-changing and has shown me the generosity of this organization. College has taught me that you never know who is truly struggling financially. These scholarships can change someone’s membership plans and change the trajectory of their college experience.”
