When you give to the Founders Circle, you don’t just fund a scholarship. You invest in one student from their first day at Goldey-Beacom College through graduation. Your commitment becomes their opportunity.
I have benefited tremendously over the years from the education I received and from my involvement with the College. Today, scholarships play a critical role in making the cost of a college education more affordable, and I believe it is important to give back and help lessen the financial burden of future generations. –Mark OlazagastiFounder & CEO of YourMoney101.orgGBC Founders Circle Member

The Goldey-Beacom College Founders Circle Scholarship Fund honors the spirit that has guided the College since 1886: the belief that education changes lives.

This is philanthropy made personal.
I was very fortunate to be able to receive the education I did from Goldey-Beacom College. My company offered a tuition aid program that helped with a majority of the cost. After I received my master’s degree my first thought was not “where do I go from here?.” I wanted to be part of the College and try, in some way, to give something back. I applied to the GBC Alumni Association. I served on the Board of Directors for many years as recording secretary. When I was approached about the Founders Circle I was immediately intrigued. This was a way to give back again. To invest in a very special person and give them an opportunity to shine, to lead, and to serve future generations from a top grade education. –John Kenneth Banaszak ’13 ‘15GBC Founders Circle Member
