Scholarships
By establishing a scholarship at La Roche University, you can help students with great academic
potential achieve a higher education and lifelong success.
While La Roche University works intentionally to keep tuition well below the national average for private institutions, many students still fall short in their ability to pay. More than 90 percent of La Roche students receive financial aid.
Endowed Scholarships
Endowed scholarships are ideal for donors who have the capacity to make a significant philanthropic investment in the education of students at La Roche.
A minimum gift of $25,000 is required to establish an endowed scholarship. You can choose to fund the scholarship through cash gifts (paid in a lump sum or over a period of up to five years), securities or a bequest. Once created, the endowed scholarship fund is permanently invested in the University’s endowment and income will provide scholarship aid to students each year in perpetuity.
An endowed scholarship, in general, grows significantly over time. As the principal value increases, the amount that the University can award to students in the future also grows. This fund is designed to benefit students for generations to come.
Annual Scholarships
Annual scholarships, which are not endowed, are created with the intent that all of the donated funds will be distributed to students over the course of time. An annual scholarship can be created with a smaller initial donation (a minimum of $5,000), but additional donations can be made to the fund at any time.
Some donors use annual scholarships as ways to make regular gifts that work immediately to assist students. The donors replenish the funds in the scholarship account with continuing gifts.
