FEBRUARY 22, 2013 — KENNESAW, GA —Henssler Financial, a Kennesaw-based financial firm, recently broadened their commitment to Kennesaw State University through a significant gift made to the Kennesaw State University Foundation resulting in the renewal of a single-parent scholarship, establishment of a foreign exchange scholarship, and assistance to establish KSU’s first overseas campus.
Henssler Financial has renewed its commitment to support students at Kennesaw State University and increased access to include a broader range of students. Initially established in 2002, the Henssler Financial Annual Finance Scholarship has offered need-based funding to full-time, in-state undergraduate finance majors. The first preference for this scholarship fund is to support single parents who are attending KSU.
Henssler Financial also established the KSU/Soka University Global Investment Scholarship. The scholarship is targeted to full-time finance majors who study global financial markets, work to develop the KSU Student Management Investment Fund, and participate in a foreign exchange program between KSU and Soka University in Japan.
“I am passionate about providing the opportunity for a higher education, and I believe the finance curriculum at Kennesaw is top-notch,” said Dr. Gene W. Henssler, Ph.D., President and Chief Investment Officer of Henssler Financial. “It is my honor and pleasure to help provide a foundation for future financial professionals who have the additional financial responsibility of a child.”
“The financial industry offers wonderful growth opportunities,” stated Pat Henssler, C.P.A., a Principal at the firm. “I believe that Kennesaw’s finance students have bright and fulfilling careers ahead of them. If we can help them financially along the way, we will.”
In addition to scholarships, the Hensslers have generously supported the university’s establishment of a branch campus in Montepulciano, Italy. The Italian campus will provide KSU students an opportunity to study in historic Tuscany, while offering the opportunity for educational excursions to such major centers as Rome and Florence.
“We truly value Gene and Pat’s commitment,” said Dr. Daniel Papp, President of KSU. “They are wonderful friends and supporters of Kennesaw State, and these gifts will have a tremendous impact on the lives of students, both here and at our Italian campus.”
