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!

The 2010-2011 President of The Friends of Augustana is Mary Simko '64.

Scholarship Award Recipients

Each year, the Friends of Augustana awards scholarships to Augustana students who excel in academics and are involved in campus life. The scholarship endowment is primarily funded through membership, gifts to endowment, the Augustana Christmas ornament fundraiser and the Cookie Project for parents of current students.

Cookie Project

The Friends of Augustana provide parents of current students living on campus with a wonderful opportunity to recognize their student's birthday or accomplishment at Augie in a special way. Your donation will go toward scholarships for Augustana students.
