The Hill
Country College Fund 2005–06 campaign volunteers
surpassed their goal and raised $532,783 to fund
need-based tuition assistance grants for
Schreiner University students from Kerr,
Gillespie, Bandera, Kendall, Kimble, Edwards and
Real counties.
“What a
wonderful community we live in, that so many
believe in empowering our youth though
education! We at Schreiner University greatly
appreciate those in the community who helped us
meet our Hill Country College Fund campaign
goal,” said Jennifer Farhoudi, associate
director of development for annual giving. “One
hundred percent of the money raised by our
dedicated group of volunteers and staff will
provide scholarship assistance to our Hill
Country students. These scholarships are vital
to our students’ success, as many of them would
be unable to attend college if it were not for
the assistance they receive from HCCF and the
donors who support this fund drive.”
The 2005–06
HCCF leaders were Campaign Chairman Bob Waller
and Vice Chairwoman Diane Green. “The unselfish
giving from businesses and individuals should be
applauded,” said Waller. “I would also like to
thank the volunteers who helped with this
campaign.”
About 100
area volunteers annually solicit gifts for the
campaign, beginning with the Advanced Gifts
team, co-chaired this year by Mike Hunter and
Berna Jean Mattheis. The campaign’s other
division leaders were: Brian Bondy and Guy
Overby, Business Division; Sue Robertson and
Mindy Wendele, Community Division; and Diana
Comuzzie, University Division.
Schreiner
University is an independent coeducational
liberal arts university related by choice and by
covenant to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
