Donor Spotlight: Almeta Monroe-Turner

Our incredible UNF Foundation Board member Almeta Monroe-Turner has pledged an extraordinary gift to establish the Almeta Monroe-Turner Commencement Regalia Endowment, which will support the efforts of our No Grad Left Behind initiative!

No Grad Left Behind seeks to support graduating seniors who are most in need of assistance and who are unable to attend their commencement ceremony due to financial constraints by alleviating the costs associated with graduation.

The Almeta Monroe-Turner Commencement Regalia Endowment will help students culminate their years of hard work by uniting with their peers at the University of North Florida commencement ceremonies and join the ranks of over 100,000 UNF Osprey alumni as our newest members.

This isn’t the first time Monroe-Turner has supported our University. In 2011, she started the Almeta Monroe-Turner First Generation Scholarship to honor both her mother and her husband who were both first-generation students.
