HOW WE HELP OUR STUDENTS

The Auburn Alumni Association, through the Auburn Alumni Association Endowment and the Auburn Club Scholarship program awarded 410 scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year. These scholarships are awarded on a variety of criteria and make a great impact on incoming students.

Young Alumni Council's Scholarship Fund

Your gift of your class year will support the Young Alumni Council’s Scholarship Fund – which provides $1,000 scholarships to rising seniors to help cover professional development expenses, like clothes for an interview or a new laptop. Auburn is special for all alumni, so this year, let’s show our appreciation and Throwback Giveback!
