Carry the Cambridge College Legacy Forward

Your estate gift can create life-changing opportunities for generations of students.

For more than 55 years, Cambridge College has opened doors to higher education for adults whose opportunities may otherwise have been limited or denied. Its graduates have carried that opportunity forward, transforming their own lives while strengthening their families, careers, and communities.

Eileen Moran Brown's vision for an accessible, affordable, first-rate education for adult learners continues to live on through Cambridge College at Bay Path University.

Today, you can help ensure that legacy continues.

The Cambridge College Legacy Endowment at Bay Path University is a permanent fund established to honor Cambridge College and carry its historic mission forward for generations to come. Through a gift in your will, trust, or other estate plan, you can help future students benefit from the same values of access, opportunity, and educational excellence that defined Cambridge College.

A Permanent Fund. An Enduring Mission.

The Cambridge College Legacy Endowment will be invested and held in perpetuity by Bay Path University. Annual distributions from the fund will support students and educational programs that advance Cambridge College’s historic mission:

To provide academically excellent, time-efficient, and cost-effective higher education for a diverse population of adults for whom those opportunities may have been limited or denied.

Your planned gift is an opportunity to preserve what Cambridge College meant to you while helping its mission live on for future generations of learners.
