Full Endowments

Full endowments require a one-time contribution of $20,000 or alternate financial commitments spread over five or ten years. The principal of the endowment remains intact and a $500 scholarship or grant is awarded annually bearing the name of the endowment. Several endowments exceed the $20,000 mark. In those cases, additional awards of $25 for every additional $500 in the endowment are awarded annually.
