Create a Named Quasi-Endowed Scholarship
Transform a life by creating a quasi-endowed scholarship. The principal will be invested and spent down over time as scholarships are awarded annually for the life of the fund, which can carry your name, the name of a loved one or the name of an organization. You’ll set the criteria and be able to meet the recipients of your scholarship. Minimum Gift: $25,000.
Gifts of less than $25,000 – A gift of any amount can transform a student’s life when it is added to an existing scholarship fund, including the Olympic College Foundation Scholarship Fund or funds that support nursing students and music students.
