Endowments

A Gift That Keeps Giving

An endowment is a wonderful gift that gives forever! More than one hundred and eighty endowments and three charitable trusts have been established by individuals or families wishing to support scholarships or programming at Lake Region State College. Each is supported with a gift of at least fifteen thousand dollars. Only the earnings from the endowments listed below are used to support yearly awards.

Endowed gifts for scholarship support (listed below) help students access life-changing learning opportunities. External resources for scholarships have the power to change a life.

They reduce financial barriers.
They reward academic success.
They drive enrollment.
They strengthen retention.
They encourage campus engagement.
They help students discover LRSC and make the decision to enroll.

Endowed gifts for instructional programming support make learning experiences stronger, better, and more powerful. External resources dedicated to program enhancement are transformational. They encourage faculty to seek new solutions … reward teaching innovation … provide new classroom resources ... foster collaboration … promote student engagement. They empower faculty to grow professionally and continuously improve student learning outcomes.

Legacy “hybrid” endowments with corpora of $100,000 or larger may provide scholarships and/or enhance instructional programming at the donor's request.

Charitable Trusts have been established by individuals who recognize the value of a good education and believe in supporting quality community education in the Lake Region. A portion of the earnings from these trusts is used to provide scholarship dollars, opening doors to opportunities for students from the Lake Region and beyond.
