Rosemont College

Regardless of a student's or their family's ability to afford a College education, Rosemont is committed to funding noteworthy students in need of financial support. Rosemont works diligently to explore all forms of financial assistance from private sources to federal or College-based programs. However, the demand for financial assistance exceeds the supply. Your help is needed to enable Rosemont to provide financial assistance to worthy students in need.

A contribution to an endowed scholarship fund can truly make a difference in the lives of generations of Rosemont students. These scholarships are critical to the College's long-range plan for supporting academic merit, financial need and cultural diversity throughout Rosemont. As the number of endowed scholarships increases, Rosemont is in a stronger position to compete nationally for the best and brightest students.

Establishing an endowment fund is like sowing a tree. Your gift of an endowment provides a permanent and lasting source of income for your scholarship, grant, or award. Like a tree, which grows over time, the yield of the student award will mature while segments of the interest earned will be distributed. The residual interest meanwhile is re-capitalized into the endowment to preserve the value of the support.

Another way to participate with institutional giving is through annual awards. This type of financial support involves allocating the entire amount of your gift directly to students in need. There is a three-year commitment involved with annual scholarships, grants, or awards and it is a great way to ease into long-term philanthropic goals.
