The GOLD Associates.

The St. Edward's Fund now offers a new giving society for undergraduate alumni who completed their degrees within the last ten years. Graduates Of the Last Decade (GOLD) support student scholarships, faculty and student research, and other vital programs embodying the university's Holy Cross mission. As a GOLD Associate, you'll enjoy all the benefits offered to President's Associates.

Even pennies can turn to GOLD.
Whether you graduated last year or in the last decade, you can help bring the mission of St. Edward's University and the dream of a college education to life - starting with just a few pennies a day. Even recent grads, who are at the start of their career, will find it easy to be part of the GOLD Associates. For as little as $50 a year, you can be a member of the GOLD Associates. For less than 14 cents a day, you can help make a college education possible for someone who cannot otherwise afford one. View suggested giving levels.
