Naming Opportunities in EducationScholarshipsFew gifts offer greater satisfaction than a gift to scholarships—a gift that fosters the promising futures of deserving and exceptional students, and lives in perpetuity through their accomplishments. Named scholarships also beget named scholars—for as long as a student is the beneficiary of a named scholarship, he carries the honor in title as said scholar. Monies allocated for scholarships ensure that financial barriers will not deter top applicants from pursuing a Northwestern University medical degree.

With an immediate-use gift in support of scholarships, you can see your philanthropy in action. These expendable gifts create new scholarship funds and last until all principal funds are distributed to students. With a commitment of $50,000 or more, donors are invited to name the scholarship. Endowed scholarships stipulate that your gift will be invested and the principal will remain intact. An endowed gift of $100,000 or more creates a named scholarship fund that will provide important financial assistance to our students. Each year a percentage of the interest earned on the endowment is awarded as scholarship support. Endowed funds are held in perpetuity by Northwestern University, forever supporting medical scholars.
