Giving to the Endowment at Florida College

An endowed fund- established as a scholarship or designated fund- is a permanent investment that provides sustainable support, strengthens Florida College’s financial future, reduces reliance on annual fundraising, and creates a legacy. Your gift is invested, and each year a portion of the earnings is used to support students, faculty, or programs while the principal remains intact.

Rather than a one-time contribution, an endowed fund is a living investment that can grow over time through additional gifts, family involvement, or estate planning. This growth expands the fund’s annual impact, offers opportunities to engage children and grandchildren in meaningful philanthropy, and helps build a lasting legacy.

How Endowed Scholarships Work

Make your gift to establish or contribute to an endowed scholarship.

A $50,000 minimum is required to establish a new endowed fund and may be pledged over or up to three years. After one full fiscal year following funding, the scholarship will be awarded to eligible recipients.

Funds are invested and grow over time.

The current annual distribution is 4% of the fund’s 3-year average value.

Annual distributions support your designated purpose.

A $50,000 endowed scholarship may provide approximately $2,000 annually to students.

Your impact continues for generations!

Customize Your Endowed Scholarship

Donors may choose the name of their scholarship and establish awarding preferences that reflect their values and giving goals. Maintaining flexible criteria helps ensure funds can be awarded consistently and allows more qualified students to benefit each year. Examples of criteria may include:

Financial need

Academic Merit
