Supporting Student Success
All net proceeds from this event go directly to students with financial aid requests. During the ’25-’26 academic year the President’s Dinner Scholarship supported 32 students and provided over $92,000 in scholarships, all because of the incredible support we received the year prior. Each year this event continues to grow and impact more students at Niagara University. Thank you for your consideration and for being part of this important event.
