Funding a Scholarship Account

If you would like to support our scholarship program or establish a new scholarship, there are several ways to fund department scholarship accounts:

• Outright gifts of cash, securities or real estate during a donor's lifetime and/or through an estate plan;
• Contributions of appreciated stocks and securities, which benefits the donor from a tax stand point;
• Planned gifts in the form of a bequest, life insurance, charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust or charitable lead trust, which can be established with the assistance of your attorney.
