Scholarship funds allow you to award scholarships to individual students based on merit, need or academic performance. Our team helps you establish the selection criteria for scholarship recipients and identify a partnering organization that best fits the student population you want to support.
Highlights
- Receive maximum tax benefits when establishing a scholarship fund and start making scholarship awards as soon as next month.
- Support students of all ages who are obtaining their education and degrees at every level in the educational system.
- Create a scholarship fund by contributing almost any asset, including stock and real estate
- Name your scholarship fund by recognizing the donor(s), a family member, friend or organization. Or, you can select a name for the fund that ensures your anonymity.
