Named Scholarship Endowments
Establishing an endowed scholarship is an ideal way to create your legacy at the Mount and ensure a quality education for generations of Mount students.
Named scholarship endowments provide a permanent source of scholarship income for the benefit of students at Mount St. Mary's University. A minimum gift of $50,000 is required to establish an endowed scholarship, which may be payable over a period of up to five years. Scholarships may also be funded through a donor's estate plans, although awards will not be made until the $50,000 endowment is received. Awards are made after an initial investment period of one year.
Endowment Gift Amount | Annual Scholarship Amount |
$270,000 | $13,500 award (half-tuition) |
$150,000 | $7,500 award |
$100,000 | $5,000 award |
$50,000 | $2,500 award |
Donors may specify various award criteria when creating their named scholarship endowment, including, but not limited to:
Class Year

Academic Indicators (high school class rank or GPA; SAT scores; college GPA)
