THANK YOU DOUG BUTLER '82!
|
 Doug Butler and his family recently established the Butler Family Scholarship Fund at Servite to provide ongoing tuition assistance for students whose parents cannot afford tuition. The Fund is part of a series of endowed funds Servite seeks to address the ongoing need to help approximately 30% of Servite students who need more than $1.3 million in tuition assistance each year to attend Servite. For those who pledge or contribute $50,000 or more to the Servite Endowment Program, Servite allows for named fund accounts. If you would like more information about establishing an endowed fund at Servite, please contact Mr. Steve Beaird, VP of Advancement, [email protected], or 714-774-7575 x1168.
