The Haverlack family, who are no strangers to the Rock, made a huge impact in the life of the university. Elliot Haverlack, an SRU alum, and his wife Ronda graciously donated $1 million to establish the Frank and Margaret Haverlack Good Citizen Scholarship in 2019, named in honor of Elliot’s late parents.
The scholarship is awarded to one incoming first year student each year that began in fall 2020. The scholarship covers up to half of the recipient’s tuition and will be renewable for up to four years. In order to receive the scholarship, candidates must have a high school GPA of 3.0 and demonstrate a strong commitment to community service. Along with this, Haverlack scholarship students are expected to maintain good academic standing and serve as campus leaders at SRU by completing at least 10 hours of service per week during the academic year.
"The gift from the Haverlacks is the largest that SRU has ever received from an alumnus. I am humbled by their generosity and grateful for their commitment to providing life-changing opportunities to future generations of SRU students," President William Behre said.
