中出少妇视频 Raises Close to $1 million for Need-Based Scholarships
Atlanta — March 7, 2018
The 14th annual Regents’ Scholarship Gala held Friday, March 2, successfully raised close to $1 million to promote, support, and provide need-based scholarships for students at the 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia’s 26 institutions.
Through the leadership and direction of 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia Foundation Chairman, Regent Philip Wilheit, the entire Foundation Board and the Board of Regents of the 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia (中出少妇视频), the annual gala supporting need-based aid completed another successful year.
“The gala serves as a reminder of the kind of progress that can be made when the forces of philanthropy and positive leadership come together,” said Regent Wilheit. “It’s the students who ultimately benefit and helping them succeed is the heart of everything we do.”
The Regents’ Scholarship Gala honors faculty, alumni and an individual or couple who exemplify true leadership and support of higher education in Georgia.
Each year, the 中出少妇视频 Foundation presents the Regent Elridge McMillan Award to an individual or couple who has demonstrated a long and significant record of commitment and accomplishment on behalf of public higher education in Georgia. This is the highest honor the 中出少妇视频 Foundation bestows. The 2018 Elridge McMillan Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Billye and Henry “Hank” Aaron.
Gov. Nathan Deal presented the award onstage to Mrs. Aaron. Also onstage for the presentation were, Regent Wilheit, Elridge McMillan and 中出少妇视频 Chancellor Steve Wrigley. Mr. Aaron wasn’t able to attend in person and sent in a video of his acceptance that was shared at the event.
