Senior Class Giving - 2012 Class Gift
The Justin Amorratanasuchad '12 Memorial Scholarship Fund
What Is the Senior Class Gift?
The Senior Class Gift is an annual tradition developed by students to encourage participation in a tradition of philanthropy among our current students and future alumni.
In a true reflection of class unity, the decision was nearly unanimous as to whom the beneficiary of the Class of 2012's gift should be.
The committee is pleased to announce the Justin Amorratanasuchad Memorial Scholarship, in honor of the late student, who continues to inspire those who knew, loved, and supported him.
With the Senior Class Gift, we wish to honor Justin's memory and promote his values of creativity, diligence, and inspiration to others. This commemorative tribute would not be possible without the support of the Class of 2012, who we hope will recognize the importance of this strong tradition.
Why Should I Give?
Making a donation toward the Senior Class Gift is a representation of both class and school spirit. More importantly, it gives students the opportunity to make the personal choice to give back to the institution that fostered their development into well-rounded and ambitious individuals.
While any amount is accepted, we ask that Seniors honor their class year by giving $20.12, $50, or a leadership level gift of $100 (which gives the student admittance into the President's Society); we are making a statement about the value we place on keeping students at Emerson.
Where Will My Money Go?
All funds collected for the Justin Amorratanasuchad Memorial Scholarship will directly benefit future Emersonians through their financial aid packages. We hope that the recipients of this scholarship will strive to be a positive example and inspiration to every student and employee of Emerson College. Please help us continue Justin's legacy of hard work and creative spirit.
