Funding Priorities : Scholarships

Supporting the Cycle of Success

When you make a commitment to support student education directly through scholarships, you help the Eller College attract exceptional undergraduates and graduates — which in turn builds the College’s profile and sustains the cycle of alumni success.

You can endow a scholarship fund to benefit students in perpetuity, make an annual gift to reward students immediately, or contribute to existing undergraduate or MBA scholarship funds.
 

Endow a Scholarship Fund

New scholarship endowments require an initial gift of $10,000. These scholarships generally hold the name of the donor — or are designated in memory of an individual — and can be directed to a specific department or designated to recipients based on criteria such as degree pursued, demonstrated need, or academic achievement. The initial gift is invested, and the interest funds the scholarship in perpetuity.
 

Make an Annual Scholarship Gift

Annual scholarship gifts require a minimum gift of $1,000 made in spring, to be awarded in fall. These scholarships usually hold the name of the donor, and our office will work with you to determine recipient criteria.
 

Support Existing Scholarship Funds

If you prefer, you can make a contribution to an existing MBA or undergraduate scholarship fund, such as the Dr. Thomas C. Moses Memorial Scholarship Fund for finance undergraduates or the Charles M. Pettis Scholarship Endowment for excellence in sales.
