MFA Alumni establish the MFA Alumni Scholarship Fund aka "Two Beer a Year Fund."  MFA Alumni Fund Scholarships are given annually by alumni who can contribute to a fund in varying amounts—some with larger gifts and some with very small contributions. Our MFA alumni graduate with a very high degree of satisfaction, and wish to pass along the gift of a writer’s education to future generations of writers.  Give up “Two-Beers-A-Year” or “Two-Lattés-a-Year” and donate as little as ten dollars to the MFA Alumni Scholarship Fund.  The MFA Program welcomes contributions to this Alumni Fund in any amount and thanks our generous Alumni.  Please contact Director, Brenda Hillman at (925) 631-4457 or bhillman@stmarys-ca.edu about donating or just send in a check.
