Senior Legacy Program

Your gift to the Senior Legacy Program goes to the most important thing at Hollins - your fellow students and professors. Your gifts support the Hollins Fund, which directly feeds scholarship dollars, faculty salaries, and more. As you approach the end of your incredible Hollins journey, we hope you will consider giving something back to the institution that has given and will continue to give you so much.

• Give online now

Why Give?

• Because alumnae did it for you.
• Because tuition only covers a portion of the cost of your education.
• Because you want future students to benefit from the caring professors, gorgeous campus, and powerful sisterhood that you did.
• Because you want Hollins to remain THE place for women who are going places.

How Much Should I Give?

• Consider making a gift of $20.13 in honor of our class.
• Consider joining Miss Matty's Circle.
• Regardless of size, EVERY gift is important.
• If every senior makes a gift, think of the impact the class of 2013 will have on Hollins' future!

Leadership Giving
Miss Matty's Circle and the 1842 Society

Miss Matty's Circle honors Matty Cocke, daughter of Hollins' founder, president of Hollins from 1901 to 1933, and the first woman to head a college in Virginia. "Miss Matty" led Hollins through a transitional period in academics as, for the first time, the school offered a four-year bachelor of arts program. Miss Matty's Circle recognizes young alumnae who are leadership donors; these donors enjoy full membership in the 1842 Society.

Loyal Giving
Marian Wolff Young Society

The Marian Wolff Young Society began as a way to recognize the devotion of the alumna of the same name of the class of 1929. Young made a gift to Hollins every year from her graduation until her death in 2008 - nearly 80 years! Each senior who makes a gift to the Senior Legacy Program gains membership in this elite society. Every subsequent year, your annual gift to the Hollins Fund keeps your membership in good standing, and you will be recognized in our annual report on giving.
