Partnering in the Journey Campaign Crosses Halfway Mark

The $50 million Partnering in the Journey Campaign for endowed student scholarships topped $25 million this summer, thanks in part to the estate of Virginia Heacock. Virginia, a longtime ExxonMobil employee, never went to college or even set foot on the ACU campus, but in 1995 she established an endowment at ACU for student scholarships, to which her estate transferred more than $4 million upon her death in May. The $25 million in new endowment equates to roughly an additional $1 million annually for student scholarships.
