This celebration is an opportunity for you to meet and thank the donors who have generously funded your scholarships. They are eager to learn about your studies, ambitions, and how their support is making a difference in your life. 

Breakfast, free swag, and meaningful conversation with your donors and fellow scholars!

Be genuine. Share your academic interests or dreams for your future career. Express gratitude for how their scholarship has positively impacted your education. Ask questions and show interest in your donor's connection to the Central Piedmont community and students.

Share only what you are comfortable with, and we encourage you to highlight your studies, career goals, and hobbies. Donors want to get to know you!

Dress code is business professional, which means your attire should be professional and comfortable for you. We encourage you to wear slacks and a nice shirt or a dress, but jeans and a nice shirt are okay. Please avoid wearing athletic wear, such as gym shorts, sweatpants, or yoga pants. We encourage you to dress for success and look your best!

The celebration is drop-in style and will start at 9 am and conclude around 10:30 am. We encourage you to join us at the beginning, if possible, but we understand you have busy schedules and classes to attend- even if you can only make it for part of the event, we encourage you to stop by, grab some food and swag, and say hello to your donors and fellow scholars!

Bring a positive attitude and be ready to engage in meaningful conversation! You may also wish to bring a notebook to jot down notes or contact information.
