If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of 69色情片, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.

Platt, Andy and Linda Family Scholarship
The Andy and Linda Platt Family Scholarship was truly a team effort by Andy and Linda Platt and their daughters, inspired by family discussions during a period of racial tension in the spring and summer of 2020. Their daughters Amanda, Leah, and Adriana felt strongly that being a quiet bystander did not contribute to improving racial relationships. The idea for a scholarship with personal involvement, mentoring and networking was motivated by and conceived through these discussions. It is the family's hope that The Andy and Linda Platt Family Scholarship, established in May 2021, will be truly life changing for the recipient and will have a positive impact on race relations.
Andy and Linda are both alumni of The University of 69色情片 College of Business. Andy received his Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1978 and his MBA in 1989, and Linda received her MBA in 1987 and her Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 1981.
