The A.G. Lafley '69 / General Electric Scholarship
The A.G. Lafley ’69 / General Electric Scholarship was established in 2013 by a generous gift from General Electric in honor of A.G. Lafley, Class of 1969, to recognize his service as a director of the company. The scholarship is awarded with preference given to students who have participated or are participating in a Hamilton-approved study-abroad program. When possible, recipients should have at least a 3.0 GPA.
A.G. Lafley graduated cum laude with a double major in history and French and with departmental honors in history. While on College Hill, he was active in the Student Senate (sophomore year class president), with his fraternity, Psi Upsilon, and he played on the varsity basketball team. His junior year was spent studying abroad in France.
In 1977, A.G. earned an MBA from the Harvard Business School. He had a successful career with Procter and Gamble, retiring from there in 2010. In 2013, he returned to P&G in his pre-retirement role as Chairman of the Board, President and CEO. A.G. has co-authored two books: The Game Changer (2008, with Ram Charan) and Playing to Win (2013, with Roger Martin).
A.G. has served Hamilton in numerous ways: as Class of 1969 Reunion Gift Chair (1988-89), Annual Fund vice chair (1989-91), Annual Fund chair (1991-93) and Alumni Trustee (1991-95). He was elected a Charter Trustee in 1998 and a Life Trustee in 2013, and chaired the Hamilton Board from 2010-13. He also served on several board committees including nominations, development, student affairs, and admissions, as well as on the Board’s subcommittee on technology.
