Establishing a Scholarship
You can support Gateway Technical College Foundation and Gateway students by establishing a scholarship. There are several funding options:
- Endowed scholarships provide a perpetual income to fund future scholarship awards. A minimum gift of $10,000 (which may be made over several years) is necessary to establish an endowed scholarship. A portion of the earnings is awarded each year.
- Annual scholarships provide awards for full and part-time students each year. A minimum annual gift of $500 is necessary to establish an annual named scholarship.
- Program scholarships with gifts of any amount can be used to support students in a specific career program. Smaller gifts are pooled to create program scholarships.
