The Scholarship Initiative

Named Endowed Scholarships

A named endowed scholarship is a permanent legacy of support for future generations of CBA students. An endowment may be established with a single outright gift, a gift fulfilled in installments over five years, or a deferred (estate) gift. Once the endowment is fully funded, a portion of its earnings each year provides for scholarship support, while the principal is retained in perpetuity for future growth.

Endowed Partial Scholarship (Unrestricted Eligibility)

MINIMUM ENDOWMENT $25,000

An endowment of $25,000 will provide an ongoing annual scholarship funded by the interest earned by the endowment. By electing to establish an endowment with unrestricted eligibility, a donor grants CBA the flexibility to award scholarship funding to deserving, qualified students as needed.
