99 Stewardship The Providence Education Fund by Dr. William Eichhorst, Chancellor Our country's greatest resource is not hydropower, grain or oil. It is our young people. They are the leaders of tomorrow - our cause for investment today.
Education is labour intensive and therefore costly.
An education fund establishes an endowment of perpetual support. Funds are invested, and only the income generated from year to year is used for college operations. A fund, therefore, continues to help an institution for generations after a gift has been given. An education fund provides a base for leadership training. It assumes that the values we cherish will continue to be supported in the years to come.
