Welcome to the Golden Panthers!
A Golden Panther is a member of an extraordinary group of Ferrum College Alumni. Established in 1974 as the 50 year club, Golden Panthers met and enjoyed discussing our Ferrum experiences and wonderful memories from a time we all remember fondly.
The Golden Panthers encourage you to participate and get involved by attending events such as Social, Athletic, Reunions, Induction of 50 Reunion Classes, Graduations and most importantly, supporting the Golden Panther Scholarship or the Ferrum Fund.
You can make the difference by keeping our vision alive for our present and future students.
As a Golden Panther, I eagerly look forward to meeting and working with you.
With personal regards,
Keith Fisher ’68
Chair

We are looking for alumni who want to be active and engaged to participate on the Golden Panther Steering Committee. The committee meets 3-4 times a year to plan upcoming events, fundraising efforts and stewardship. It is our hope to have a representative from every class of the Golden Panthers. If you are interested in joining you can fill out the ‘Golden Panthers’ form link above and indicate in the comments it is for Golden Panther Steering Committee.
The Golden Panther Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 1982 with an initial gift of $12,365. Since that time (as of September 30th 2017) the fund has grown to over $400,000! The fund has provided financial aid to more than 120 students at Ferrum College in the last decade. Last year we raised over $11,000.00 and provided $15,500 in financial aid to Ferrum students.
The GP scholarship fund is listed in the official College catalogue. The principle amount in the fund grows from contributions and bequests from members of the Golden Panthers Club and other interested persons. The principle is commingled with the permanent endowment fund of Ferrum College and is invested according to the policies of the Board of Trustees.
Any Ferrum College student may apply for a scholarship award and priority is given to children of Ferrum Alumni who have demonstrated academic ability and intend to pursue a Christian vocation.
Support the Golden Panther Endowed Scholarship with an online gift!
It is the goal of the members of the Beckham Society to create educational opportunities for current and future Ferrum College students. The Society recognizes alumni and friends who have made Ferrum College a beneficiary of a deferred gift through their wills, trusts, life insurance policies, annuities, or other endowment gift arrangements.
