Class Scholarship

Although your class reunion is a time to look back fondly on your Miami years, it's also an opportunity for you and your classmates to renew your commitment to Miami's future. Reunion giving has become a tradition at Miami and we hope you will be a part of that tradition by making a gift to commemorate your reunion year.
