Give to the Grandparents’ Scholarship Fund!
Started by Pat Whalen and Esther Rodriguez, two USD grandparents, this fund helps directly support students with financial need. Pat is also credited as the founder of Grandparents’ Weekend, giving us the idea for the event back in 2005.
With the creation of this fund, Pat and Esther had a broad vision to see other people’s grandchildren attain a USD education while spending less time worrying about the cost. Help us make a difference in a student’s education by donating today!
