Chuck and Claudia Thomas Ayer '75

Chuck and Claudia Thomas Ayer, both class of 1975, take great pride in the education they received at Potsdam. So much pride, in fact, that they want to afford today's students the same opportunities they received. They created the Chuck and Claudia Thomas Ayer Scholarship to support incoming freshmen studying at The Crane School of Music or the School of Arts & Sciences.

"Our scholarship helps make possible for current students what both of us were privileged to receive ? an excellent and stimulating education, lifelong friends and a world of opportunities? without the crushing burden of college debt. With support from those of us whose lives have already been shaped by the gift of a Potsdam education, today's students should be able to explore their talents and fulfill their dreams in the same way."
