Phase II: Scholarship and Program Support

Secure a Lasting Legacy with a Named Scholarship Endowment!

You can leave a legacy that lasts beyond a lifetime by establishing a scholarship endowment with Purdue University. Starting at $25,000 (paid over a period of up to five years), you can create a scholarship that will continue to support the educational endeavors of Purdue students — and allocate those funds to students from the school or college of your choice — as long as there is a Purdue University. The funds you contribute to your endowment will be invested in a diversified portfolio that seeks to protect the principal, keep up with inflation, and generate an annual scholarship distribution.

With your gift comes the opportunity to name the scholarship, allowing you to secure your own legacy or forever memorialize a friend, family member, teacher, colleague, or mentor.

You can make a difference with Graduate Fellowships

Graduate education is a fundamental part of any research institution. Purdue’s graduate programs are world-renowned for both the quality of research they support and the quality of students they produce. Purdue’s success as a premier institution of higher education and discovery depends on the success of its graduate students. Your support will sustain that success and help Purdue ascend to distinction.

How can you positively impact graduate student research?

You can support:

• Research grants to help fund graduate students’ work
• Travel grants to allow students to interact with a larger community of scholars by participating in
  national and international conferences
• Fellowships to allow students to concentrate on their work and complete their degrees sooner:
