Scholarship Campaign
"We make
a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
Winston Churchill
College
of Nursing at UM-St. Louis Scholarship Campaign
Education has the power to transform a life. The impact of an education in nursing
reaches far beyond the student to patients, their families and the entire
community. Scholarships do more than help pay for education--they recognize
and reward hard work and dedication. The Scholarship Campaign gives anyone
the opportunity to provide for generations of students to learn, grow and
achieve. It also provides the educated registered nurses so necessary to
a healthy community.
The Legacy of Endowed Scholarships
Endowed Scholarships are designed to provide permanent awards in the name
of an individual, company, organization or foundation. Donors may
contribute to an existing scholarship fund or create an endowed scholarship
in their name or as a memorial to a loved one. An endowment is permanent
and is carefully invested to provide income for scholarships. The principal
is never spent and so continues in perpetuity as a legacy and heritage
for the future.
You may set guidelines for awarding your scholarship. For example, a minimum grade point average, undergraduate or graduate program, field of interest, financial need, or other criteria.
Types of
Endowed Scholarship
An
Immediate Gift with a Minimum of $10,000

becomes endowed when the fund reached $10,000. For example, $5000 for
two years, or $2,500 for four years.
