Scholarship Spotlight
Dickinson’s Campaign for Scholarships is making an impact.
Thanks to the philanthropic support of the wider Dickinson community, the college continues to make impressive progress toward its goal of providing a scholarship for every Dickinson student who needs one. As of Oct. 1, more than 4,400 donors have joined to help Dickinson uphold its commitment to meeting the full demonstrated need of every admitted student.
“THERE’S NO GREATER GIFT THAN GIVING SOMEONE BACK THE ABILITY TO DREAM. It’s really hard to imagine what my life would have been like [without a Dickinson scholarship]. Since graduating from Dickinson, I’ve tried to lead the best existence that I can with the gifts that I’ve been given and to contribute to creating an environment in the Americas that enables future generations to maintain this ability to dream that Yale [Asbell ’78, P’24,] and friends have given us.” —PABLO THALER ’07, the first recipient of Dickinson’s Global Campus Scholarship, established through a gift by Asbell. He is now a political analyst with the Organization of American States.

I feel like I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of, and I am so grateful to you for helping to make it possible for me.” —EVELYN R. MACE ’24, recipient of the John J. Curley Scholarship
