Class of 1968 Scholarship
As we commemorate the past at this 50th reunion, we also look to the future. This celebration is a time to support the next generation of Millikin students! Please join the class of 1968 reunion co-chairs in making a gift to the Class of 1968 Scholarship. The fund will help make a college education possible for a deserving Millikin student, and create a legacy for the Class of 1968. Almost 100 percent of Millikin students receive financial aid in the form of grants or scholarships. The goal is to raise at least $10,000 to endow the Class of 1968 Scholarship, so it can be awarded in perpetuity. Let’s aim to meet this goal by Homecoming & Family Weekend!
