At the Hearts and Scholars dinner, students meet their donors and share their unique achievements in academic and research ventures. From learning how to become an astrophysicist to finding innovative cures for cancer, these scholarships enable students to follow their dreams and bring about positive change in the world.
Celebrating the philanthropy of scholarships
For more than a decade, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Hearts and Scholars event has brought together donors and student recipients to celebrate the philanthropy of scholarships. Outstanding students from a variety of fields receive thousands of dollars in financial assistance every year with the help of Arizona State University alumni and donors, many of whom received assistance themselves during their undergraduate and graduate careers.
