Hood College Ring
If you would like to purchase a Hood
ring or to replace a ring that is lost, orders can be arranged through the Hood College
Bookstore in the Whitaker Campus Center.
During the fall semester, a representative from Balfour will be on campus to
take the junior ring orders. Juniors pick up their ring on the day of their
ring ceremony held during the spring semester. For more information or to place
an order, you may also visit the Balfour website.
Hood
College Ring Scholarship Program
The program was created through the generous support
of alumnae and alumni to assist qualifying Hood juniors with a Hood ring. Every
year, students may apply for a legacy ring and/or ring scholarship in their
junior year. Students are awarded a legacy ring or scholarship based on
exceptional essays on what the significance of the Hood ring and the importance
of the ring tradition means to each of them, and other criteria submitted in
the ring applications. The Hood College ring committee is honored to award
deserving students with legacy rings and scholarships each year.
Legacy rings are made possible through donations
from our compassionate Hood alumni. Every year, students who are awarded a
legacy are matched with a ring donated by alumni. Our students are honored to
wear these special rings with various class year engravings. This program is a special way the office of alumni
relations and special events carries on the heritage of Hood College and the
Hood ring.
In addition, ring scholarships are awarded to Hood students
every year. Students are awarded either a full scholarship to purchase their
ring or a partial scholarship to assist them in purchasing a ring. The
scholarships would not be possible without contributions to the ring
scholarship fund from generous Hood alumni and friends.
Students who were awarded a scholarship or legacy
ring will receive their rings at the annual ring ceremony in February 2013.
If you have questions or would like to donate a
legacy ring or contribute to the scholarship fund, please contact the Office of
Alumni Relations and Special Events at (301) 696-3900 or send an email to alumoffice@hood.edu.
Hood rings are purchased through Balfour.
The office of alumni relations and special events
would like to thank all who contributed to the Ring Scholarship and Legacy Ring
programs this fall! Please view a list of the 2012 legacy ring awardees
