What kind of gifts can be made to the College?
There are several types of gifts you can make to the College. Those ways include:
Scholarships
An endowed scholarship is created with a gift and/or pledge of $10,000 or more. Only the investment income from the endowment principal is spent, allowing the fund to grow in perpetuity. The endowed fund can also be named after the donor or in honor or memory of a loved one, a family member, a faculty member, friend or any other person of their choice. Non-endowed scholarship can also be established.
Fellowships
Endowed graduate fellowships begin with a gift and/or pledge of $50,000. As with endowed scholarships, endowed fellowships may also be named for the donor or any person chosen by the donor. Fellowships provide graduate students with the financial support necessary to continue pursuit of their graduate degrees.
Professorships
Named professorships are established with a gift of $250,000. Professorships can also be named for the donor or their designee.
Chairs
An academic chair is established with a gift of $1,000,000. This is the most prestigious of named academic chairs and is used to recruit or retain faculty who have demonstrated their unmatched qualifications and are widely recognized as internationally renowned in their particular fields.
