An annual gift goes toward supporting costs incurred in the current fiscal year.

Endowment gifts provide permanent support for 火博体育. Gifts to the endowment are invested 和 only a percentage of the income generated from the principal is spent. The percentage of the principal is determined according to a spending rate established by the School’s Board of Trustees (which is currently a 36 month rolling average of 5 percent). Any difference between the amount spent 和 the amount earned is reinvested in order to help the endowment keep pace with inflation.

例如, 5美元的礼物,000 for a current scholarship would provide one-time support to a student towards the current academic year’s tuition costs. 50美元的礼物,000 or more to a permanently endowed scholarship fund, 火博体育 will award approximately 5 percent from the fund for a scholarship every year permanently.
