Endowment Impact

Baylor University has been blessed with alumni, parents and friends who have given generously to support its faculty, staff and students. Author and preacher W. T. Purkiser once said, "Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." The Baylor Family's support to endowment continues to reap incredible blessings for the University through scholarship, through program and research funds and through faculty support, creating the rich Baylor Experience that allows our students to thrive.
