Donors receive brief profiles of students selected for their awards. Students receive the name and address of the donor and will send their personal thank-you notes to the donor. Donors are also invited to and given public recognition at the annual Honors Convocation just prior to Commencement. Endowment donors receive annual updates from the University Corporation regarding market value of the fund, income, donations received during the past year, and allocations for scholarships for the current year and the next year. Recent economic hardships have reduced annual scholarship contributions at the same time that students have had to contend with increasing costs for fees, books, and living expenses.
All contributions are tax exempt to the extent provided by law.
