The PLC SCHOLARS PROGRAM

Creating Opportunity for Deserving Students

The Parents Leadership Council (PLC) Scholars Program gives parents of Emerson undergraduates the opportunity to provide critically needed financial support to a current student who would otherwise be unable to attend Emerson. Your gift of $10,000, which can be made as a single payment or over four years, will allow a promising student of limited financial means to emerge as a leader of tomorrow.

Your support plays a critical role in securing the socioeconomic diversity of Emerson, and a balanced experience for all Emerson students, who benefit from living with – and learning from – individuals of varied backgrounds. Emerson teaches students of communication and the arts how to creatively and effectively express themselves; by participating in the PLC Scholars Program, you give the lifelong gift of self-expression to a talented individual in need.

A personal connection

Supporting the program can also be deeply rewarding on a personal level. As a donor, you’ll have the opportunity to be in touch with the recipient of your gift and learn about his or her personal and academic progress.  Establishing this connection creates a unique and special association between your philanthropic commitment and the beneficiary of your generosity.

If you would like to know the satisfaction of enabling a young person to achieve a level of success that would otherwise be beyond his or her reach – and to experience the benefits of your gift first-hand – we hope you’ll take the opportunity to learn more about the PLC Scholars Program.

For more information, please contact the Parents Leadership Council at (617) 824-8531.

“Establishing a scholarship at Emerson is a meaningful way to make a tangible difference in someone else’s life. It gives talented, deserving students the opportunity to pursue their dreams no matter their financial circumstances. It also helps to ensure that Emerson remains a world-class institution that truly reflects the diversity in our society.”
