#TigerGivingDay: Help Texans Attend Auburn

Today is Tiger Giving Day! This year, the Alumni Association project will allow donors to direct their gift to their club's scholarship. Houston alumni and friends have a unique opportunity to help local students follow their dreams of attending Auburn University. Each year, GHAC awards an out of state waiver scholarship to an incoming Auburn freshman from one of the counties in the Greater Houston area.

The association also has a bold goal of reaching 1,856 donors during this year’s Tiger Giving Day, a figure symbolic of Auburn's founding year.

When completing your donation, make sure to enter the Greater Houston Auburn Club so your donation will go toward scholarships for local students.

Every donation matters! In fact, a contribution — of any amount — from 1,856 alumni or friends has a lasting impact on our annual participation rate and, in turn, our university’s national ranking (more below on national ranking impact).

From helping a student attend Auburn through your local club’s scholarship to helping our "participation" percent, your support strengthens our local Auburn community, transforms our students, and recognizes 1856 as a special year for Auburn. Thank you for supporting Auburn Clubs and student scholarships with your gift today — everybody counts!

#TigerGivingDay: Improve Auburn's National Ranking
We all know Auburn University is the best of the best, but according to the 2017 U.S. News & World Report Alumni Giving Rate statistic, Auburn ranks 11th out of 14 schools in the SEC at only 12% (see chart below). The average alumni giving rate is a determining factor when Auburn is ranked nationally. And there will be no better time to donate to Auburn than #TigerGivingDay. No gift is too small – a gift of any amount helps improve Auburn’s alumni giving participation numbers and ultimately our national ranking.
Each year GHAC awards an Out of State Waiver Scholarship to a deserving student from the Greater Houston area. This year you can direct your #TigerGivingDay donation to that scholarship fund! 
THANK YOU!
"Thank you SO much for blessing me with this scholarship! Your kindness is an incredible blessing to me and my family. I will make you proud at Auburn and I hope one day to help someone in the same way that you have helped me. I am so glad that Auburn has someone like you to represent Houston." - Katie Yee, 2016-2017 GHAC Out of State Waiver Recipient
