Franklin College recognized and celebrated its donors for their philanthropic support today with the release of its 2022-2023 Franklin College Honor Roll of Donors.

In a message to the college’s alumni and donors, Franklin College President Kerry N. Prather said, “Through your philanthropy, you have made possible scholarships and financial aid for students who would otherwise have been unable to afford a Franklin College education. You have also supported the enhancement of our academic programs, the maintenance of facilities, and the implementation of new technologies that make the student experience at Franklin College truly distinctive.”

He went on to share a few of the college’s recent fundraising successes.

• Donors’ total giving to the college was $4,145,513.
