DEVELOPMENT & FOUNDATIONGiving ProgramsEndowed Scholarship ProgramBy establishing an endowed scholarship, you will be making the dream of a college education a reality for future generations of students. Although RSU is more affordable than most colleges and universities, more than 80 percent of our students require some financial assistance.

Through a restricted financial gift to the Endowed Scholarship Program, you can help reduce the burden on these students, paving the way for their success in college – and life. You will have the opportunity to shape the criteria by which students are selected to receive their scholarship. These criteria may include designating a specific department or program, student classification, financial need, or other criteria that meet your specific goals. You also will have the opportunity to meet the students who will benefit from your generosity, through correspondence or in person. Many of our students and donors become lifelong friends.
