The Wilson Popenoe Society was created in 2009 to encourage alumni and friends to renew their Zamorano University ties by making yearly gifts to the unrestricted scholarship fund.
Named for Zamorano’s founding director, Dr. Wilson Popenoe, a distinguished botanist, explorer and educator, the Society membership consists of supporters who make gifts of $1,000 or more to the unrestricted scholarship fund in any given calendar year. Young alumni are invited to join at the special gift level of $500.
More than 70 percent of Zamorano students rely on scholarships. These funds are available because of the loyal commitment and steadfast support of donors who share in our conviction that providing a strong undergraduate education to deserving young people is the best way to promote a better and more prosperous future for all Latin Americans.
Members of The Wilson Popenoe Society receive special recognition and benefits, including invitations to special events on and off campus, opportunities for direct communication with select scholarship students, and exclusive bulletins from faculty and administrators.
