Through a gift of life insurance, Heather Onstott Perrygo ’92 established an endowed scholarship fund that supports a cause close to her heart. “I have designated my scholarship support for prospective students in foster care. Wofford accepts everyone as they are, and I believe it provides the ecosystem where these kids can grow into the best versions of themselves,” says Perrygo. According to Perrygo, she initially chose life insurance as a vehicle because early on it was the least expensive way for her to make an impact. “I also was afraid something might happen to me before I could give someone else the gift of Wofford,” she adds. “I wanted to give back to Wofford because it was so instrumental in providing the best parts of my life: lifelong friendships and a desire to make a difference.”
