(Neosho, MO) – Crowder College’s Foundation has announced its annual giving campaign featuring alum of all walks of life sharing the reasons why they give to the college, as well as current student perspective on the importance of scholarships.
“We believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of a student’s education,” stated Wade Williams, Director of Institutional Advancement. “Our annual giving campaign directly supports the general scholarship fund, helping hundreds of students access the resources they need to succeed. With Crowder’s already affordable tuition and the support of scholarships, many of our students have the opportunity to graduate debt-free which is a life-changing advantage as they step into their futures.”
Donations may be made by visiting the Crowder website and clicking the Foundation link at the top of the page.

Each year, the college wants to celebrate and appreciate the confidence voters showed making Crowder College an educational opportunity for our region. Today, Founder’s Day encourages those who have been impacted by Crowder College, whether attending themselves or via family, friends, or neighbors, to see the progress the college has provided.
