One method is through gifts to create endowed funds. If the minimum gift amount is met, these funds can carry the name of the donor or someone the donor desires to honor or memorialize.
Few factors influence a college's quality more than the students it enrolls.
In turn, nothing has a more profound effect on the credentials and character of each entering class than the amount and kind of financial aid that can be offered. There are few ways more effective or important in which you can help Union College than to establish an endowed scholarship. You are building the permanent endowment and thus adding financial strength to the College's future, while allowing us to attach your name forever to the College and thus to perpetuate for many years to come your interest in education and in helping today's youth . You are setting up a means by which to help students directly and generously in a way that will make the difference between their being here or not. You are helping to insure Union's ability to attract and retain to graduation the very best qualified students.
