Endowed Scholarships
Establish an Endowed Scholarship
Endowed scholarships enable you to leave a legacy and a scholarship in perpetuity. A minimum donation of $5,000 is required to endow a fund at the Allen Community College Endowment Association. The principal is invested, and the interest earned off the principal is used every year to support the scholarship.
To establish a scholarship or learn more, contact the Endowment Office.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How large is Allen’s endowment?
Our total endowment is almost $8 million. Most funds are set up for scholarships use.
-
Why are endowments important?
The amount contributed to an endowment makes up its principal and that principal exists in perpetuity. The larger the endowment, the larger the income stream from earnings. Only earnings on the principal are spent from an endowed fund.
-
What are “earnings and losses”?
Interest, dividends, realized and unrealized gains, and losses are all used in calculating earnings and losses.
-
How does the endowment help students?
The earnings from endowed funds are awarded to students in the form of scholarships. Many students require more financial assistance than current resources allow. Students who receive scholarships from endowed funds are provided contact information regarding the donor and are required to express their gratitude for support.
-
How much does it take to establish an endowed scholarship at Allen Community College Endowment?
The minimum amount required to start an endowment is $5,000. This amount may be reached over a course of time with a signed agreement and pledge form or a declaration of intent for deferred gifts.
-
Can I designate my endowment for a specific purpose?
Absolutely! As long as it is consistent with Allen Endowment's policy, state, and federal laws. Once a gift is accepted, the conditions of the gift are followed in perpetuity.
-
How much does my endowment earn? Does the market affect an endowment account?
Endowed funds are pooled into a portfolio. Earnings from the pool are allocated pro rata among all endowment accounts annually. The amount of earnings added to the fund fluctuates with the markets. Although the portfolio is well diversified, some investments might occasionally lose value as the market fluctuates.
-
How do I start an endowment scholarship?
It is simple; contact the Endowment Office and we will draft a Donor Advisory Agreement that will govern the fund according to your wishes. Once the Donor Advisory Agreement is finalized, simply sign and return it with your initial gift. The Director of Development will countersign the Donor Advisory Agreement and a copy of the executed agreement will be returned for your records.
-
Can I add to my endowment?
Additional gifts may be made at any time. Gifts will be used to increase the principal balance which will remain intact permanently. Increases in principal will ultimately lead to an increase in the number and/or amount of awards. The award amount and number of awards will be determined from the earnings on the principal annually by Allen Community College Endowment Director and Board of Directors.
