Areas to Designate Gifts

Annual Fund - General Scholarship Fund

The importance of scholarships cannot be overemphasized, given the rewards reaped by both donors and recipients. Higher education benefits both students and the society in which they live, work and raise their families. Annual support is increasingly important as the University of Evansville continues its mission of recruiting the brightest and most promising students and providing them with the highest quality educational experience. It is through gifts to the Annual Fund that we are able to provide competitive scholarships and financial assistance, which will help attract outstanding students to our campus each year.

Harlaxton College Annual Fund - Support for Harlaxton College

Harlaxton Manor was built in the 1830's for Gregory Gregory, a wealthy Nottinghamshire businessman, to replace the original Elizabethan Manor House in Harlaxton Village. Today it is owned and operated by the University of Evansville to give students the opportunity to study abroad and to experience other cultures outside of the United States. Gifts to this annual fund will help with the maintenance and renovations of the College, preserving this unique educational experience for its students.

Friends for Educational Excellence Fund - Scholarship Support for Students

The University of Evansville's Friends for Educational Excellence Fund provides scholarships, equipment and other needed resources to enhance learning opportunities for students. In the 30 years since it was established, the Friends for Educational Excellence Fund has raised more than $3 million for this worthy purpose.

Athletics Scholarship Fund - Scholarship Support for Student Athletes

As a member of the Purple Aces Club, you can make a real difference in the lives of our student-athletes. The funds raised are used to provide scholarship aid for University of Evansville student-athletes and to support our 15 varsity sports. Purple Aces Club members have joined for many reasons, including: concern for the University and its image both on a local and national level; the opportunity to help UE's student-athletes; and civic pride, knowing that a successful athletic program is a tremendous community activity. For more information about the Purple Aces Club or Athletic Scholarships, please contact the Athletics Department at (812) 488-2287.

Restricted Gift

A gift can be restricted if you would like your donation to support a specific department, program or special project. With a restricted gift, you may designate a gift for a specific purpose and outline the details for use of it.

Endowment Fund

Making the most of your gift - In an endowment fund, the principal is invested and only a portion of the investment earnings is spent. The rest of the earnings is reinvested back into the fund, so that the endowment grows and becomes a perpetual source of funding. You can give a gift to the general unrestricted endowment fund; or if the gift is sufficient to fund a specific activity, such as an endowed scholarship or professorship, you can establish a specific fund and name it.
