Endowments

Endowment Program

During the 1980s, the Endowed Scholarship Program was created to further support student scholarships in the Paper Science Program at UWSP. Endowed scholarships are living memorials to those honored and serve as a constant reminder of the generosity of the donors. The minimum donation required to establish a named endowed scholarship is $10,000 which can be paid over time.

An endowment is forever because the principle is held in perpetuity and only the income is used to sponsor scholarships. The endowed scholarship program ensures the future of the pulp and paper industry by providing long-term scholarship support for students preparing for positions of leadership. The Foundation acknowledges endowed scholarships with a special presentation at the Foundations annual meeting usually held in September. A bronze plaque is also permanently displayed in the lobby of the Paper Science Department.
