Endowed Scholarship Funds

Endowed scholarship funds are part of Lancaster Theological Seminary's total endowment fund to take advantage of being part of a large pool of investments. Each endowment fund is accounted for as a separate fund within the larger endowment.

By establishing an endowed scholarship fund, you will directly impact Seminary students for countless future generations. The fund will become a permanent memorial and ongoing investment in the future of the Seminary and our students.

• You may establish an unrestricted endowed scholarship fund with a minimum gift of $25,000. The fund can be established through a single gift or with payments over two to five years.
• You may establish a restricted endowed scholarship fund with a minimum gift of $50,000. The fund can be established through a single gift or with payments over two to five years. With a restricted fund, you may specify a preference for the type of student(s) who will benefit from the scholarship award (i.e., students with a particular major, from a specific geographic area, etc.)
• You may name an endowed scholarship fund for yourself, a member of your family, or in memory/honor of an individual or group (i.e., the Class of 1966 Scholarship Fund).
• Additional gifts to an endowed scholarship fund may be made by any person at any time.
• Donors with established funds receive information on the student who receives the scholarship award each year.
• The student is informed of the name of the donor, unless the donor wishes to remain anonymous.
• Both the student and donor are invited to attend events celebrating  scholarship recipients and donors who have established scholarships.
