Since the beginning of the Bicentennial Campaign, 110 endowed scholarships have been established representing more than $8 million in gifts. Such support is especially welcome at a time of declining support from other sources of financial aid.
In recognition of Union's scholarship tradition, once a year the College hosts a luncheon on campus bringing together the recipients and donors of all the named scholarships. This gives the donors and students an opportunity to get to know one another and often is the beginning of a life-long relationship.
Nothing has a more profound impact on the character and credentials of each entering class than the amount and kind of financial aid the College can offer. Few gifts to the College have as long an impact as an endowed scholarship, which will support Union students for generations to come.
A minimum gift of $25,000 is required to name an endowed scholarship at Union College. The earnings distribution is awarded to a student or students who meet the financial aid requirements of the College.
