Endowed & Annual Scholarships

Endowed Scholarships are awarded annually and are self-perpetuating. They can be established for a minimum of $50,000 which may be given over five years. An estate gift is also an option for signatories who are above 65 years of age.*

Annual Scholarships can be established for a minimum of $2,500 a year for a minimum of four years.+

* If the threshold is unmet after five years, the balance will be transferred to an awarding scholarship with similar qualifications. Estate gifts do not have this requirement.

+ If there is no funding and the scholarship is not awarded for three consecutive years, the scholarship will be closed.

Getting Started

  • Reach out to Bekah Moser, Coordinator of Scholarship Giving.
  • Select a descriptive name and broad categories to encourage future donors, (ex. Helping Hands assists students in financial crisis that may not be able to complete their degree).
  • Provide a paragraph describing the legacy of the person or purpose for which the scholarship is established.
  • Choose up to three qualifications for the scholarship. Examples of qualifications may include: must be a nursing major; minimum GPA of 3.0; financial need is a preference, etc.
  • Approve the scholarship agreement by proofing and affirming accuracy.
  • Sign the agreement which will be sent to you via Docusign.
  • You will receive the finalized agreement from Taylor once signed by University officials.

    "I want to express my deep gratitude by saying your donation changed my life, and I felt God work through you. I could go on and on about how Taylor changed my life, which all started because you were willing to make an investment in a random student. I can’t wait until I’m established in the world and able to pay forward the investment you made in me by supporting another Taylor student."
