Endowments

Endowments are gifts that keep on giving. The funds are invested, and the earnings generated by the investment is used for the purpose the donor wishes.

Endowments may be established to support student scholarships and programs, faculty and their work, or specific programs that enhance the education opportunities for our students.

A portion of the income may be re-invested each year, depending on the annual earnings of the endowment, enabling the endowment to continue to grow and provide a predictable, stable stream of income for Schreiner University over time.

Donors may be recognized by having an endowment named for them, or may name the endowment to honor a family member, favorite professor, classmate, or anyone else they may wish to recognize.
 
A minimum gift of $25,000 is required to establish any named endowment.
