Do you have someone you would like to honor? Perhaps someone
in your family - your mother, your father - or a SLU faculty member
has helped you become the person you are. Endowed scholarships
and other endowments honor individuals or groups by establishing
a fund that grows over time. The interest generated is used for
scholarships for worthy students or to retain the best and brightest
faculty.
Endowed scholarships as well as other endowment opportunities
give donors a chance to honor someone and help Saint Louis University
students in many ways. An endowed scholarship offers immediate
financial assistance to current students and provides future
giving options for other donors, while honoring the person(s)
for whom the scholarship was established. A minimum gift of
$25,000 for undergraduates or $50,000 for graduate/professional
students establishes an endowed scholarship. This gift can be
payable over a period of five years. The scholarship will be
awarded when the book value reaches or surpasses the minimum
requirement for one full fiscal year. The principal is invested
by Saint Louis University and the interest earned provides the
scholarship revenue.
An
annual scholarship is established for a minimum of a $2,500
gift. Annual scholarships can be awarded one time only or can
be renewed for as many years as the donor wishes.
For more information about establishing an endowed or annual
scholarship, contact the Advancement
Director for the program you are interested in supporting
