SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships have significant impact on students attending college today. Scholarships not only provide financial relief, but also recognize a student’s achievements while investing in his/her future. Establishing a scholarship helps ensure students know about your company and its philosophy and priorities. Scholarship donors can meet and get to know scholarship recipients through personal contacts throughout the year. All scholarships are customized based on the donor’s priorities and can target students from specific programs.

Two types of scholarships are available:

Annual scholarships donations made to the Stout University Foundation that are awarded to students directly at the annual Scholarship Reception.

Endowed scholarships are investments that provide ongoing scholarship funding. A minimum of $30,000 is invested with a single gift or multi-year pledge, and the earnings are used to fund annual scholarships in perpetuity.
