Charter Day Sponsorship
Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. At Howard, we attract ambitious students from around the world who are poised to solve humanity’s greatest challenges. For many of these exceptional scholars, the primary barrier to completing their world-class education is financial.
Your sponsorship of the Charter Day Dinner is a direct and powerful investment in this human potential. It is a declaration that your company stands for excellence, equity and opportunity.
Your support not only funds a scholarship but also launches a lasting legacy. It empowers a future doctor to pioneer new treatments, an engineer to design sustainable infrastructure, a business leader to build an equitable economy, or an artist to inspire the world. By ensuring these students can access a Howard education, you are investing in the strength of your future workforce and our nation.
Organizations interested in becoming sponsors should contact Maria Martineau at Maria.Martineau@howard.edu.
