With today's challenging economy and ever-competitive job market, your support of Embry-Riddle students is more valuable then ever. There are many ways that you can help the next generation of Eagles soar. Following are just a few ideas. We welcome any other suggestions you may have. Email us at: eralumni@erau.edu.

Contribute to the Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship, created in honor of the university's milestone achievement-reaching 100,000 alumni strong in 2011-and help Embry-Riddle students achieve their educational dreams. If you are a parent of a student, your child may also be eligible for a Legacy Scholarship. Simply indicate on the application for admission that the student is a child of an alumna/us by checking the "Parents attend ERAU" option.

You can support the Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship with your online purchases, as well. When you shop online via the Buy4ERAU.com portal a portion of commissions (up to 30 percent), usually paid to search engines like Google or Yahoo, will be donated to the scholarship fund, which benefits students with financial need.

Students are also invited to get involved with the Student Alumni Association, and get a head start to their future as alumni. The Mentorship service is another great way to serve new alumni as they begin their careers.

The Career Services Office also offers ways for alumni employers to recruit students for job opportunities, as well as Co-Op and Internship Programs.
