In connection with National Scholarship Month in November, the University of Guam Endowment Foundation and several of the foundation’s most generous and longest-term scholarship donors were recognized by the Guam Legislature on Dec. 14.

Sen. Amanda L. Shelton presented a legislative resolution to the UOG Endowment Foundation and certificates of recognition to endowed scholarship founders, including the late Dr. Charles Parent; Gerry Perez; James and Young Hee Ji; Frederick J. Horecky; the University of Guam’s Society of Emeritus Professors and Retired Scholars; and IT&E Overseas.

Since January 2000, the UOGEF has awarded $559,890 in scholarships to UOG students and continues to raise funds through campaigns year-round. Its year-end “G is for Giving” campaign is ongoing through tomorrow.

For more information on how to donate to these scholarships or other endeavors that support UOG students and programs, please contact the University of Guam Endowment Foundation at (671) 735-2957 or email, or visit website.
