Board of Trustees member and husband pledge extraordinary planned gift

The Culvers familly

Donors

Melanie Peacock Culver, ’84, and Jay Culver. Melanie joined the èßäÉçÇøapp State University Foundation Board of Trustees in the fall of 2024.

Gift

Planned gift commitment in support of student scholarships - including a scholarship in equine science - and student support services

Impact

The Culvers' extremely generous planned gift will impact thousands of future èßäÉçÇøapp State students financially, academically and with their quality of life. By supporting both student scholarships and student support services such as mental health and counseling services, the Culvers will help make a èßäÉçÇøapp State education more accessible for more students as well as enhance the kinds of support they can take advantage of to help them succeed and thrive during their college years. 

Inspiration

Melanie Culver’s mom, Dr. Sonjia Peacock, had a 20-year career in Student Mental èßäÉçÇøapp Counseling and Student Support, and she will be honoring her mom’s life work by helping to ensure this essential component of student success for future generations of Racers. Although Jay did not graduate from èßäÉçÇøapp State, his love of equine science and his positive impression of èßäÉçÇøapp State’s program motivated him and Melanie to want to support this program and its students at èßäÉçÇøapp State.
