Ways to Give
Please join us in furthering our commitment to public service with your support of the Obama Scholars Program at Occidental College.
Giving opportunities include:
Impactful Annual Support
Annual gifts to the Obama Scholars Program provide immediate funding for students, faculty and programs. The Boesche Society, named in honor of the late Professor Roger Boesche, will recognize donors who support the program.
Support an Existing Program Named Endowments
Through a generous estate gift that established the James A. Conlin ’74 Endowed Fund for the Barack Obama Scholars Program, donors can support the future of this unique program by making a gift to an existing endowment that will support the student experience in perpetuity.
Establish a New Named Fund
Named endowed funds can be established to support all dimensions of the Obama Scholars Program student experience, including the undergraduate seminar experience, internships and postgraduate pursuits. To get started, contact Alicia Cleaver, Associate Vice President of Advancement at acleaver@oxy.edu or via phone at 323-259-2903.
Gifts For Today and Tomorrow:
The Obama Scholars Program offers a unique opportunity to sustain the Obama legacy and realize his vision to create change through service leadership. Your generosity will ensure that new generations of students will undergo the same transformative experience that President Obama enjoyed at Occidental.
