Schreiner University is calling on alumni, families, businesses and Hill Country residents to come together Nov. 8-14 for its annual Giving Week, with a goal of raising $250,000 to help local students pursue a college education.

This year's campaign, Give Where You Live, will benefit the Hill Country College Fund, which provides need-based scholarships to students from Kerr County and six surrounding counties.

The weeklong effort is part of the university's broader $700,000 annual fundraising goal for the fund.
