Endowed Scholarships

An endowed scholarship creates a permanent source of support for students’ educational needs. Your gift is invested with the UW-Parkside Foundation, and only the earnings are used to provide scholarship awards each year.

Create your endowed scholarship with a gift or pledge commitment of $10,000 or more. Pledges may be completed over a period of up to 5 years.

To ensure the scholarship’s long-term health, scholarship awards will begin three years after endowment and/or pledge completion. The scholarship award amount is determined annually based on available fund earnings.
