Honors College Endowment Fund
An endowment is a permanent investment in the college, our students, and our faculty. The income from an endowment provides an ongoing source of funding that grows over time. As the principal increases, so does the annual payout. An endowed fund (e.g. for a scholarship fund or a professorship) can recognize the donor or someone the donor wishes to honor in perpetuity. Gifts to the Honors College Commemorative Tile Campaign reside in this endowment fund. -
Honors College Development Fund (the Dean's Excellence Fund)
Gifts to these expendable funds are spent as they come in and may be made to support a specific program, research, or people, as the donor directs. These are discretionary gifts.

Consider a Legacy Gift
Donors may make larger gifts (typically $25,000 and above) through a variety of carefully planned vehicles, such as bequests and living trusts, insurance policies, IRAs and other retirement plans, and life income gifts which provide donors with considerable tax savings currently as well as an income for life.
