Endow a Scholarship Fund. With a contribution of $25,000 or more, in one payment or a five-year pledge, you can support the future through scholarships to deserving students through a named fund. A $62,500 endowment will allow the Foundation to award a scholarship annually in your name.
Create a Sponsored Scholarship. If endowing a scholarship at this time seems like too big a leap, consider creating a Sponsored Scholarship, a commitment of $2,500 per year (plus a small administrative fee) to cover the cost of a scholarship for a student.
