It is by God's grace that PHC can report such tremendous growth as we head into the new academic year. As mentioned in this issue of the Trumpet, the College has enrolled a record number of incoming students, hired more faculty and staff, added another major, and installed new labs for Journalism and Strategic Intelligence.

However, with this exciting growth comes the challenge of providing financial aid to an expanding student body. Each year the scholarship needs of the College have grown, and thankfully, each year Patrick Henry has been able to meet its financial obligations. We seek to continue this trend for the coming year, but we need your help.

Our annual fund goal for the year is approximately $3 million, and the vast majority of that amount is needed to fund our financial aid program.

If you feel led to make a special gift to the Patrick Henry College Scholarship Fund, please use the enclosed reply form and envelope. Whether large or small, every gift is important for the future of these students. With your help, they will become the leaders of the next generation.
