The Northwest Fund

1905 Society

Named in honor of the year Northwest was founded, The 1905 Society is Northwest’s premier giving society for annual gifts. The 1905 Society helps the University foster its tradition of philanthropy by recognizing its most generous supporters on an annual basis.

Endowed Positions

This is a challenging time at Northwest and worldwide. Generously, but not surprisingly, members of the Bearcat family have offered their assistance to our students in need.

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT: DANELLE MCMORROW

“Scholarships from Northwest have allowed me to balance my work and classes. This balance has allowed me to focus on career development and relieve some worries regarding financing my education. Without the scholarships, I would not have been able to pursue the opportunities that I have been given.”
