Dear Hartwell Family,
On behalf of Hartwell Athletics and the student-athletes who compete for Hartwell College, thank you for supporting the Hartwell Athletic Scholarship Circle. Circle members fund annual scholarships and academic support so we can recruit, develop, and graduate students who represent the college well.
We ask alumni, families, and friends to make an annual gift, whether you are renewing or joining for the first time. Your gift posts to the membership year that closes June 30 and helps the department plan seating, parking, and aid without guesswork.
Thank you for building champions and preparing leaders. Go Hartwell.
Jordan Hale
Director of Athletics

Why support matters
Annual Circle gifts pay scholarships that general tuition budgets do not cover. They also keep academic staff and travel plans on a calendar the department can trust.
| Support area | What members fund | Planning window |
|---|---|---|
| Scholarships | Annual aid for student-athletes across varsity programs | Before June 30 |
| Academic support | Tutoring, study checks, and eligibility coordination | Each semester |
| Gameday access | Priority seating and parking tied to posted gifts | Spring renewal |
Football seating and parking · Circle members · Basketball seating and parking
Hartwell Athletic Scholarship Circle planning notes
Hartwell Athletic Scholarship Circle is maintained as a practical reference for supporters who want their annual gift, membership record, and gameday access to stay aligned. The Circle office keeps the guidance simple: make the gift through an approved channel, keep a receipt for your records, and confirm any seating or parking request before the published renewal window closes.
Families, alumni, and local partners use this page when they compare unrestricted gifts, program support, and scholarship priorities. Each path helps Hartwell student-athletes, but unrestricted annual support gives the department the most flexibility when scholarship, academic, travel, and wellness costs move during the year.
For the smoothest renewal, review the related pages linked below, then contact the Circle office if your household, company, or matching-gift provider needs a written confirmation. Clear records protect member benefits, reduce last-minute ticket questions, and help the athletics staff plan before invoices and assignments are finalized.
- Use the current membership year when discussing gifts or benefits.
- Keep restricted sport gifts separate from annual seating minimums.
- Ask for clarification before changing a pledge, company match, or payment schedule.
