As investors in our community's future, the Honorary Directors Association seeks to "aid in the higher education of capable, needy and worthy young persons who cannot otherwise attend college." Founded in 1931 by civic-minded business and professional leaders, the Honorary Directors Association funds scholarships for Rockhurst students on the basis of need and academic ability. This group has changed the lives of generations of Rockhurst students by helping to provide value-based Jesuit higher education in Kansas City.
