Endowments

When you create an endowment, your gift is invested according to the university’s investment policy, with only the earnings used each year—allowing it to make a lasting impact. Endowments often support scholarships, bursaries, academic chairs, or programs. We’ll ensure your gift is used as intended and grows in impact over time.
