It is time for those of us who believe in Carroll College to take personal responsibility for its continued vitality. Those of us who have supported student scholarships in the past must step up now to meet the challenges students of today are facing.
"We created the Bruce and Kerrie Robertson Endowment to “pay it forward”; we received a great education at Carroll and really enjoyed our college experience. Our lives have been blessed with life-long friendships and we also found each other. Because of the experiences we had at Carroll, we felt it was important for us to give back to the college in some way. After learning more about the endowment, establishing an endowed scholarship was the perfect thing to do. Our gift will live on in perpetuity, and hopefully help many students along the way.”
"We established our endowed scholarship to assist Carroll College students in paying for tuition. We hoped that our modest funds could turn a potential student into a full-time student and eventually a proud graduate. We had worked closely with our parishes here in Bozeman and knew previous Carroll graduates as classmates in professional school, colleagues and priests. Both of our children went to Carroll and benefitted greatly from the excellent education they received in Helena."
Bill and Jane Quinn Endowed Scholarship
After the glow of celebration in watching our sons (Nick & AJ) graduate from Carroll College, we decided to make a donation to help future students pursue their dreams at Carroll. Because of the hard work, both prior and during our sons’ time at Carroll they were awarded numerous scholarships, both academic and athletic. It seems fitting to honor their gifts with one for future students who possess a passion and commitment to play football while earning a degree.
"When I was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Carroll College a few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend quality time with several of the professors at Carroll. These dedicated individuals reminded me of the or those professors who dedicated their time to my advancement many years ago, and I realized that faculty should also be afforded an opportunity to advance their expertise. Thus, Elaine and I made the commitment to help by endowing a faculty development fund."
"When we started thinking about giving Carroll College a gift we talked with Tom Trebon and Candie Cain for guidance. After that we came up with a number, doubled it and that is how our endowment was established. We did it because of our many family ties with Carroll, we certainly did not do it for any notoriety for Peggy and myself. Our recent gift to Carroll for the Hunthausen Activity Center is in memory of Archbishop’s Mother & Family and the students of Carroll."
Gene and Peggy McMahon Endowment
Raj and I share a philosophy that the world can be made better through education. For years we contributed to the Andrew and Emily Peoples Memorial Scholarship, a fund established by my mom and uncles. Once it reached a level that felt ‘right’ long-term, we wanted to establish our own legacy at Carroll College. We created the Schneider Lall Family Endowed Scholarship and involved our son, Danny, to continue a tradition of giving and to draw him into the Carroll family.
Because our precious daughter, Lynn, died so young, it is most comforting for us to provide scholarships in her name through a Carroll College endowment to help other young women achieve their educational goals.
Lynn Marie Jasmin Memorial Endowment
I am thankful that the professors, priests and students at Carroll College became my family when I first moved away from my childhood home in the Flathead Valley. At Carroll, I was constantly inspired and challenged not only to excel in academics but also to grow and mature in my personal and spiritual life. Without the help of generous scholarship donors, I would not have been able to attend Carroll. I established this endowed scholarship to help launch many other young women from the Flathead Valley on successful paths.
