In December 1994, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Union a challenge grant of $575,000 to renovate Schaffer Library into a
highly effective learning center and a showcase for the humanities.

In August 1995, the College received $200,000 from the NEH by meeting the first increment
of the challenge. To collect a second payment of 5200,000 this August, the College must certify an additional $800,000 in cash donations by June 30.
