Friends of Augustana

The Friends of Augustana is a group of people who have a passion and love for Augustana. Alumni, current and former employees, and parents of current or former students are all represented in the group’s membership. Our mission is to provide financial assistance to talented Augustana students through a scholarship endowment, but membership is entirely social! Please know that by joining The Friends of Augustana, you will not be called to volunteer your time. But do come to our events and enjoy being on campus and supporting our students!
