Endowed Scholarships

Endowed Scholarships provide financial assistance to students in University of Northwestern’s traditional undergraduate, adult undergraduate, and graduate studies programs. This type of scholarship has a long-term impact for students because the principal donation that Northwestern receives is invested, and we then only use the earned interest when awarding scholarships. Because of that, Endowed Scholarships can be awarded forever. You can support an already existing Endowed Scholarship, or create your own. To create your own Endowed Scholarship, you can make a one-time or multiple-year gift to achieve the endowment level ($25,000). You can also create or add to Endowed Scholarships through estate gifts.
