Scholarships
Scholarships and Awards help students just beginning their time in university. Your support gives students the leadership skills and opportunities that will make them global citizens.
Scholarships are an investment that keeps giving and growing. Thousands of scholarships are supported by both endowments and annual donations. Endowments create a lasting legacy, helping students with tremendous potential to achieve academic, athletic and research excellence in perpetuity.
By endowing an undergraduate or graduate student scholarship - with a minimum investment of $50,000 - you ensure that generations of ambitious and deserving students will benefit. Each year, the interest income generated from your gift will support a student scholarship. If the principal investment grows over time, the amount of your award will increase.
