Endowment Possibilities

Donors who create an endowment are interested in establishing a fund that will live forever to benefit current and future students and programs. The principal in the fund is never touched; only the interest is used to make awards year after year. Endowments may be established in support of any program at the College and may be contributed to over a period of years. Donors may establish endowments to offer living tributes and lasting memorials to family and friends.
