An endowed scholarship is the donation of money to a foundation for the ongoing support of a scholarship. The EFSC Foundation invests the endowed capital, and only the interest generated is used to issue scholarships (per the donor’s instructions). Therefore, the capital or corpus is never touched, ensuring that the donor’s gift is a permanent source of funding for ongoing scholarship support. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. EMPLOYEE GIVING Employees gave 1,423 gifts totaling $10,092 Our Employees Care!
