You may fund your endowed scholarship at Baylor over a period of five years with an initial gift of $10,000, with the understanding that it will not become a named endowment until the balance reaches $50,000.

An endowed scholarship provides financial assistance once it reaches $50,000.

You may wish to identify certain award preferences for your endowed scholarship fund such as a particular school, academic discipline or department. You also may choose to include other selection criteria, such as merit- or need-based consideration. (Based on federal guidelines, gender, age and ethnicity cannot be used as criteria or preference for awarding scholarships.)

Funding Your Endowed Scholarship

• Endowed scholarships may be funded with a tax-deductible, charitable contribution of cash or securities.
• Matching gift programs are a great way to increase your giving to endowed scholarships. Many companies offer matching gift programs< to encourage their employees to make charitable contributions.
• You also may choose to use your estate to establish an endowed scholarship.

Donors to endowed scholarships are honored by Baylor through recognition in the Endowed Scholarship Society.
