Bill and Lisa Conquergood Commit $100,000 to CWU
Both alumni of CWU, Bill and Lisa Conquergood share a passion for the experience that Central provides for students to explore and learn about potential career pathways. Earlier this year they made a $100,000 gift to establish the Bill and Lisa Conquergood Endowed Scholarship to support both undergraduate and graduate students at Central. “We felt it was important to give back because, like a lot of Central students, we are standing
on the shoulders of others,” said the Conquergoods. “We were fortunate to have support to be able to go to Central, and we want to make sure other students have that same opportunity. We believe it is important to support an institution that gave us so much and continues to provide students with opportunities to improve their future.” The gift will fund two scholarships each year to students who demonstrate financial need and are enrolled as full-time students.
Former CWU Quarterback Supports Current Student-Athletes
At the end of 2021, Casey and Carrie Jacox committed $25,000 to establish the Casey and Carrie Jacox Pay It Forward Scholarship to support student-athletes at CWU with the focus of enhancing opportunities for those who come from underprivileged and minority backgrounds.
“My wife and I wanted to do something uncommon that would have an impact on others.” said Casey. “I wanted my philanthropy to be different and help strengthen relationships of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. If you focus less on yourself and find ways to help others, the boomerang of positivity or success will come back to you.”
” “ I was extremely thankful when Coach Fisk told me about the opportunity to apply for this scholarship. I found it pretty cool that Casey was taking the time to give back because that is something I want to do in the future, give back to others. This scholarship takes a lot off my plate and gives me less to worry about while I go to school and play football. - Quincy Glasper Casey and Carrie Jacox Pay It Forward Scholarship Recipient and Starting CWU Football Quarterback
