There are many reasons to create a scholarship. You may want to carry on the memory of a loved one or perhaps you received a scholarship when you were a student and now you want to pay it forward. Whatever your reason, the SPSCC Foundation team is happy to work with you directly in creating a new scholarship.
Start a New Annual or Endowed Scholarship
(All final paperwork to create a scholarship should be emailed to LeeAnn Thompson)
The SPSCC Foundation offers two types of scholarships:
An annual gift of at least $1,000 for current use to be used in its entirety. This type of scholarship is viable as long as a donor continues to make annual contributions.
The minimum initial gift for establishing an endowed scholarship is $25,000, payable over up to five years. The principal is invested, and a portion of the earnings generated by the investment is used each year to support the scholarship in perpetuity. Subsequent additions may be contributed at any time in any amount.
If you are interested in supporting SPSCC scholarships without creating a new scholarship, you can also consider giving to the general Student Success Scholarship Fund.
In support of general operating costs, a one-time fee of 5% will be assigned to all donations. Endowments will incur a fee of up to 2% annually.
