Types of Gifts
The following specific endowment funds have been established based on the University’s long-term needs. By contributing to one of these existing endowment funds, you are assured maximum benefits for the University while supporting those programs in which you have a special personal interest.
These endowment funds are appropriate for gifts in memory of loved ones. The principal is permanently preserved and the earnings provide perpetual support for the program that best portrays the ideals and interests of the honoree. For the same reason, these existing endowment funds are also appropriate for bequeaths in wills and for proceeds from trusts.

Endowed Scholarships
Endowed scholarship funds are vital. These funds provide financial
aid that enables students of all financial backgrounds to
enroll at SAGU.
General Scholarship
Fund
Earnings from this fund are used exclusively for scholarship
awards for deserving students. Recipients are determined in
the spring semester of each year by the University’s
Scholarship Committee, which maintains a balance of members
from among the University’s various departments.
Named Scholarship
Endowments
This type of scholarship endowment is designed to allow the
donor an opportunity to participate in setting criteria for
the student recipient, and to establish a name for the scholarship.
To establish a named scholarship, a minimum donation of $10,000
is necessary. This can be done at once or given through periodic
payments.
When the fund reaches $10,000, the scholarship is named in honor of the donor(s). The following year a scholarship is awarded and presented by the donor or selected representative at the Annual Scholarship Awards luncheon held in April. Additional gifts to this fund can be made at any time to increase its scholarship value, which is based on earnings during the previous year.
