Creating opportunity for others through scholarships fuels talent, compassion, and ambition.

Give to an existing scholarship
Establish a named scholarship
- A gift of $2,500 or more a year for a minimum of five years establishes a restricted named scholarship.
- Create a new endowed scholarship fund with a gift of $50,000 or more. Established in perpetuity, the principal remains intact as earnings on the principal fund your scholarship long into the future. Endowed scholarship donors are some of the university’s most forward-thinking and generous supporters, and often honor a loved one in an enduring way.
- Make a charitable bequest in your will or trust as part of your estate plan to establish a legacy scholarship. Bequests, both large and small, have made Cal Lutheran the university it is today. It costs nothing now, but assures that your gift will have a lasting impact.
