Establish an endowment with an initial contribution of $5,000 (in cash or securities) and a commitment to give an additional $20,000 over five years for a total corpus of $25,000. The principal investment in an endowment is held in perpetuity, and with wise stewardship from the Board of Trustees, the interest earned on these funds generates scholarships on an annual basis. There are many naming opportunities for individual donors, families, or alumnae classes.
