SCHOLARSHIP
GIFTS
YOU can make a difference in the life of a Union County College student
by establishing a scholarship.
Union County College builds minds and shapes the future of its students.
Many deserving students cannot afford the cost of the outstanding
education offered at Union C.C. A scholarship is an opportunity to provide
an education that will enhance their futures.
Scholarships can honor or remember family, friends, or organizations.
Your financial assistance will help students receive the education
necessary to compete in the increasingly sophisticated workplace of
the future.
There are two types of scholarships:
ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS provide scholarship funds from interest earned
on principal. An Endowed Scholarship will provide funds in perpetuity
and can be established with a minimum gift of $15,000. This amount
may be given over time and added to at any time. As the endowment
grows, the amount of the scholarship awarded will increase.
ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS are established by direct gifts in the exact amount
of the awards. The scholarship is renewed each year with an annual
gift from the donor. The minimum gift required for a named annual
scholarship is $1,000.
