Endowed Scholarships

The vast majority of our students depend on financial aid to achieve their dreams of a college education. Endowed scholarships help turn those dreams into reality.

An endowment is a gift that is invested and held in perpetuity. The return on the investment provides a constant source of income for the activities designated by the donor, and endowed scholarships at Bay Path help maintain the institution’s financial strength.

Endowed gifts also reflect a commitment to the future of Bay Path. By establishing an endowed fund, a donor ensures that their own values and legacy become a permanent part of the University’s success. Many donors choose to honor family members, friends, or a favorite professor with the lasting tribute of an endowed gift. These are individuals whose faith in the University is unwavering. They know that Bay Path always has been and always will be a place that deeply supports the needs of its students.

Endowments can be established through current gifts of cash, stock, real estate, or through planned gifts such as charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, life insurance, or bequests. A fund can be endowed with a gift of $25,000 or more, and the University's endowment program provides assurance that contributions will be managed professionally.

Students who receive scholarships during their college years come to understand the importance of donors who help make higher education possible. In doing so, they learn about the transformative power of philanthropy. Many are inspired to help new generations of students in the same way.
