Most alumni first heard about Covenant from someone who took the time to share about the College. As alumni, you know Covenant better than anyone else, and you know students who would thrive in the Covenant environment. We want to give these students an opportunity to come to Covenant, but we need your help to connect them with us. Consider your relatives, neighbors, and church members, and help identify the next generation of Covenant Scots at covenant.edu/referascot.
