Schreiner University has kicked off this
year’s
Hill Country College Fund. Campaign
leaders announced that $101,070 has been
raised in advanced gifts toward this
year’s $220,000 goal.
“This campaign makes a huge impact on
generations of students,” said Lucy
Gould, associate director of annual
giving at Schreiner. “For some Hill
Country College Fund makes the
difference in continuing on to college
or not going at all.”

to Schreiner students from Kerr,
Gillespie, Bandera, Kendall, Kimble
Edwards and Real counties.
This year's campaign Chairman is Stan
