From Dreams to Degrees<\/h1>\n

ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ fuels the dreams of the next generation, fostering academic excellence and social mobility for students from all walks of life. Currently, more than 50% of our students depend on some form of financial assistance to help cover the costs of tuition and books.<\/strong>\u00a0To this end, scholarship support is more important than ever.\u00a0 The goal of the ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ Foundation is to make obtaining a college education accessible to students from all financial backgrounds. Scholarships supplement tuition costs, allowing students to focus on their education without the added stress of financial burdens.\u00a0If you are interested in establishing a scholarship\u00a0at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ\u00a0or need more information, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0718-997-3920<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donors who are interested in supporting\u00a0<\/span>a scholarship fund at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ can make general contributions to student scholarships through the Fund for ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ, or they can create a personal scholarship in their own name,\u00a0or\u00a0<\/strong>in recognition of someone who has made a difference in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scholarship Endowments\u00a0<\/strong>&\u00a0<\/strong>Limited Duration Scholarships<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

You can make a dramatic difference in the life of a hard-working student by establishing a scholarship at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ. The Office of Institutional Advancement will guide you through the simple process of creating a scholarship and help you determine the basic criteria for your award. Donors with named scholarships receive periodic updates of their accounts, invitations to special donor recognition events and letters from their scholarship recipients.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two types of named scholarships that can be established at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ:<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#E71939″ open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”#E71939″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#E71939″ toggle_font=”|700|||||||” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”|30px||30px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Scholarship Endowments” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Establishing a Scholarship Endowment at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ is an opportunity to create a legacy. When your gift is made, it is placed in a permanent account that generates interest each year. The interest is then awarded to the student or students who meet the criteria for your award.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Scholarship Endowments provide a\u00a0permanent\u00a0<\/em>funding base from which awards can be made for generations to come.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Scholarship Endowments can be established with a one-time gift, or through gifts made over a period of up to five years. Once the minimum account principal has been reached, the interest earned provides the funding for annual awards for generations of students.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Additional gifts to a Scholarship Endowment fund can be made at any time by the donor or other interested parties.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \n
      <\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Limited Duration Scholarships” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”on”]<\/p>\n

      Limited Duration Scholarships make an immediate impact. When\u00a0your gift is made, it is placed in your account at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ and awarded to deserving students in accordance with your scholarship criteria. The account does not generate interest like Endowed Scholarships. Funds are awarded until your account is depleted. Donors are invited to replenish or add to their accounts at any time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Considering the cost of tuition, books, and student fees, the minimum amount suggested to create a named scholarship at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ is $6,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Limited Duration Scholarships can be converted to Scholarship Endowments by the donor if they choose, as long as they have pledged the minimum gift amount required for an endowment fund.<\/span><\/li>\n
