giving highlights Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Philanthropy The commitment of Agnes Scott College supporters during a year of many uncertainties has been extraordinary. The college remains committed to providing the highest quality of education to our students and maintaining learning environments that are safe, supportive and equitable. Philanthropy helps keep the college flexible and resilient as it pushes forward and adapts. We are truly grateful for all you do. Every gift of every size to the college truly makes a difference as we continue to face unprecedented challenges this fall semester and beyond. Thank you for helping us remain #ScottieStrong! See some of the incredible philanthropic numbers you made possible this year — including a record $21.1 million in new gifts and pledges — through a special virtual performance by alumnae of Agnes Scott’s a cappella group Luchsingers.
