Support CGES

Every gift helps! The BMW Center and its students are extremely grateful for any and all contributions that support student life, course development, and financial aid. These generous gifts support all of our students, including international students like Strahinja “Strax” Matejic:

“Being an international student brings a great number of benefits, but also some important challenges. One of them is undoubtedly finances. The fact that this program has an opportunity to fully fund students through the Flynn Memorial Scholarship – and not limit this opportunity to domestic students – really sets MAGES apart. Along with the curriculum and the School of Foreign Service prestige, this scholarship attracted me to the program even more. I am honored to receive such an acknowledgement, especially noting the selectivity of the admissions, and the great class of my peers!”

– Strahinja Matejic, Flynn Memorial Scholarship recipient

Thank you for your support. To make a transformational gift, please contact Associate Director Tina Ruby.
