7 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GO? WE SOAR. Soaring Together Scholarships Applications are now being accepted from members of the Class of 2027 for the Soaring Together Scholarship Program. Through this new endeavor, Lehigh aims to establish a cohort of more than 50 students with an unprecedented level of support while advancing gender equity. Created in honor of the milestone anniversary of Lehigh coeducation, Soaring Together offers full-tuition merit scholarships as well as experiential learning opportunities, career and professional development, and alumni support and networking to impact students academically and throughout their careers. The program was launched with four foundational gifts totaling nearly $3.5 million from Mark Alpert ’70; Board of Trustees Vice Chair Maria Chrin ’87 ’10P and John Chrin ’85 ’86 ’10P; Trustee Ann Lewnes ’83 ’22P and Greg Welch ’22P; and John Staub ’86. These gifts will allow the university to initially offer six scholarships with the aim of eventually building a cohort of 12 to 15 recipients per academic year. The Soaring Together Scholarship Program will become the largest and most comprehensive of its type at Lehigh. WE ARE GREATER TOGETHER. The Lehigh Fund Nowhere is the collective impact of Lehigh alumni and friends more apparent than in the Lehigh Fund, which directly supports students in powerful and meaningful ways. Every year, thousands of alumni and friends give to the fund, their gifts adding up to provide immediate and flexible support for the university’s top priority of scholarships and financial aid. Together, our community ensures Lehigh can welcome the most talented students and provide them with the distinctive Lehigh experience that prepares students to lead lives of impact. “ AS BARRIERS, LIKE THE GENDER GAP, CONTINUE TO BE BROKEN, LEHIGH AS AN INSTITUTION AND AS A COMMUNITY WILL BECOME EVEN STRONGER. I HAVE GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS OF WOMEN AT LEHIGH.” Maria Chrin ’87 ’10P Every year, the Lehigh Liners — a dedicated group of student ambassadors for philanthropy — reach out directly to Lehigh alumni, parents, and friends, forging a warm connection between the present and the past.
