The scholarships are also important to Texas Lutheran University . They help TLU stay competitive in attracting top quality students and maintaining a level of enrollment that maximizes use of faculty and facilities.
Endowed scholarships are also important to many of our donors .
These scholarships can be named to preserve the memory of loved ones while helping others. The scholarships can also be established for specific purposes if the donor desires. The endowment is the university's invested capital, which generates annual income in perpetuity. Endowed funds are protected by contractual agreement between donors and the university. The principal invested remains intact, and the expendable income is used to further the mission of the university.
