“Albion has made such an impact on so many lives. It’s important to give something back to the institution that enabled you to get where you’re at today. Honoring that life reward is a commendable thing to do.”
It’s a challenge to do great things. It’s the catalyst to prepare our students for success. It’s inspiration for all to make a difference.
The impact of every gift is clear for those students who benefit. However, their power reaches far beyond that. Gifts to Albion College make an impact on both students and those who give. You can feel it on our campus—among the classrooms, labs, playing fields and beyond. Through the annual luncheon celebrating Stockwell Society members and endowed scholarship donors, you can see it. In the stories below, you can read about the significant role these generous gifts play in the Albion College story.

“We want students and parents to feel confident that the value of an Albion education will be both intellectual and real-world. Albion has succeeded in doing both in the past, and I’m confident it will do so in the future.”

“At Albion, we were taught we could do anything,” she says. “And we went ahead and did it.”
Rick Simonson, '72
“Remembering how he had been helped by scholarships, he included in his estate planning a scholarship for individuals seeking to attend the College. Rick’s passing is a tremendous loss. However, his legacy of saving, caring, sharing, and giving back will enrich students’ lives in perpetuity! Rick’s commitment to advancing education will live forever through his scholarship funds.”
