Establishing a Scholarship
Endowed Scholarships |
Limited Term and One Time Scholarships
Endowed Scholarships:
An endowed scholarship is a wonderful way to
establish a legacy. You determine the name
of the endowed scholarship and you help set
the criteria for selecting a deserving
student to receive the award. The interest
earned from your endowed scholarship fund is
awarded each year in the form of a
scholarship. The principal amount is never
spent, thus ensuring the perpetuity of the
scholarship and the legacy of giving for a
lifetime.
The scholarships are awarded annually at the Breakfast With
The Stars event held each spring.
You will be seated with the recipient and
their family at the breakfast.
The minimum amount required to establish an endowed scholarship
is $20,000 which may be paid in a lump sum
or over a specific time period scheduled
with the Executive Director.
In 2009 two new scholarships were endowed:
(4) Jack Singley Scholarships
($1,000 each)
Established in 2008 in honor of Mr. Jack Singley’s 44 years of
service to IISD and is awarded to a
graduating senior who has exhibited
outstanding achievement in academics,
extracurricular activities and community
service.
Barbara Cardwell Future of Education Scholarship
($1,000 each)
Funded in 2009 by friends and family of
Barbara Cardwell as a tribute to her many
years of service to the IISD. It is awarded
to a graduating senior who is in the top 20%
of his/her class and has a record of
community service and the intent to continue
community service while in college and
