Endowed Scholarships

Scholarships are the means through which the College recruits and retains the best students. An Endowed Scholarship exists in perpetuity, awarding funds annually from its corpus, to a qualifying student. Often, family and friends establish endowed scholarships in honor or memory of an individual. An endowed scholarship must have a minimum of $15,000 in the corpus.

An endowed scholarship fund can be established through the Development Office in order to build the corpus.

Examples of endowed scholarships at Paine College include: the James Jay Endowment Scholarship, the Evelyn D. C. Tinsley Endowed Scholarship, the Margaret A. Pitts Endowed Scholarship, and the Knox Foundation for Endowed Scholarship.



Endowments

Endowments are assets donated by individuals or organizations to provide permanent capital and an ongoing stream of income for Paine College. Endowments include one or more of the following components: true endowment, term endowment or quasi-endowment, and generally exclude life income and annuity funds.

New endowment funds provide direct support for academic and campus life initiatives while strengthening the College's overall financial position. Paine’s endowment also helps the College limit annual tuition increases to less than the national average — making a high quality education affordable.
