Endowments are invested in accordance with prudent standards that ensure long-term viability and managed to provide a maximum return on investment. Annual earnings are carefully reinvested to support future scholarships.
Establish a Scholarship
The minimum level to establish an endowment with the Foundation is $25,000, to fund an annual $1,000 scholarship award. Endowed scholarships can be established in several ways:
- Fully funding the scholarship at the time it is established
- Funding the scholarship through a multi-year pledge of three or more years
- Pledge periods for larger scholarships will be determined on an individual basis
