Your sponsorship provides valuable support to Friends University’s outstanding liberal arts education programs. This support translates into merit scholarships for students who are in the midst of their educational journey; for learning opportunities outside the classroom where they can gain first-hand experience through internships, research projects, and performance; and the perpetuation of our education programs for the working adult.

Deadline for sponsorship commitment: August 10, 2012, to ensure your inclusion in Great Conversation! promotional materials.*
