Scholarships
Generally, scholarships fall into 2 categories: endowed and current restricted. Endowed accounts require a minimum of $25,000 to establish and are normally available to the student for 4 years. Restricted scholarships are funded each year and have no minimum amount for opening. While donors are able to insert certain criteria requirements for a particular scholarship, such as a minimum Grade Point Ratio, academic discipline, financial need, etc., they are strongly encouraged to make their scholarships unrestricted, thereby allowing the College to recruit the most highly qualified and most deserving students from each year's applicant pool.
 
Programs and Faculty Support
The Foundation also seeks outside financial support in order to enhance faculty development, research, Chair and Fellowship establishment, International Study programs, and numerous other faculty initiatives to increase the quality of our faculty and the education they provide to our students.
 
Building Support
With approximately 15 capital projects identified for implementation in the near future, the Foundation is actively involved in the solicitation of external support for the construction of the facilities. Among those currently identified are a new science building and renovation of the existing science center, a new wing for the School of the Arts, renovation of two student resident buildings and the student activities center, completion of our new one million volume library, and renovation of the College's basketball arena.
