Thank you BSC alumni, parents, and friends! By the end of the last fiscal year, May 31, 2013, you gave more
than $1.8 million to the Annual Fund, providing scholarship and academic program support for students
and meeting the day-to-day needs of the college.
The alumni giving percentage increased another 2% last year, from 34% last fiscal year to 36%. That means
that in two short years, our participation has made an astounding leap from 28% to 36%. This enthusiastic
support from the BSC family played a significant role in our favorable accreditation review and showed our
community how much BSC alumni care about their alma mater.
