Scholarship and Endowment Gifts
Scholarship and
Endowment Gifts
Scholarship Endowments
Scholarship funds are a key component of Queens College’s efforts to help
students succeed. Funds can be established in honor of, or in memory of, a
family member, a friend, a co-worker, a student, a faculty member, or a mentor.
Additionally, many companies create scholarship funds to help increase their
corporate presence at Queens College. Scholarship award recipients are selected
based on criteria determined by the donor.
Endowed
Scholarships
provide a permanent funding base from which scholarships can be awarded. The
fund principal must be a minimum of $25,000 for awards to be made. Endowed Scholarship funds
can be established with an initial gift of $25,000 or more, or through gifts
totaling $25,000 or more over a period of up to five years. Once the account
principal has reached $25,000, the revenue earned on that principal provides the
funding for annual awards. The donor or other interested parties may make
additional gifts to the fund at any time.
Limited Duration
Scholarships
are established to create scholarship awards for a specified period of time
(e.g., the money is equally divided and awarded over the number of years
specified). The donor makes a lump-sum contribution of at least $1,000 to
establish a Limited Duration Scholarship, and annual awards to students will be
at least $500. The donor or other interested parties may make additional gifts
to the fund at any time.
Academic
Endowment Opportunities
General Endowments
fund a wide array of academic and athletic programs, operational accounts,
special programs and projects based on donors’ specific interests. Examples
include faculty research, technology enhancements and library funds.
Naming Opportunities are available throughout the campus and include spaces such
as classrooms, lecture halls, computer labs, theatres and major buildings, as
well as academic programs, residence facilities, and departments.
Endowed Chairs enable the College to create highly distinguished faculty
positions to be filled by up-and-coming scholars or researchers who, in the
early stages of their teaching and scholarly careers, show tremendous promise.
Endowed chairs are an important acknowledgement of the value the university
places on its brightest educators, who through their teaching and scholarship
provide students with the opportunity to learn from the very best. Both the
donor and the recipients of an endowed chair become part of the legacy of Queens
College and create a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of Queens
students.
