Our Mission
To stimulate, encourage, and promote the educational welfare of students and alumni of Hunter College through establishing, maintaining, and awarding scholarships and other grants.
Our Story
A Progressive Vision
The Scholarship and Welfare Fund of the Alumni Association of Hunter College (S&W Fund) was established in 1949 when five alumnae came together to help many intelligent, motivated students who could not afford necessities like transportation to school, lunch, or even a coat. That year, each of our founders donated $100 to assist high-performing Hunter College students with these expenses.
While much has changed since 1949, our mission to support dedicated students and alumni as they pursue their degrees remains the same. Through the generous support of Hunter College alumni the S&W Fund currently awards more than $1,000,000 in scholarships and grants to qualified Hunter College students every year.
