Scholarship Program

Significant portions of Vassar Scholarships awarded annually to students are funded from scholarship endowments and expendable gift accounts established by alumnae/i, corporations, foundations, and friends of the College. These endowments and expendable gifts are important resources, providing for scholarships not only for students currently enrolled at Vassar College but also for future generations of students.

In establishing scholarship endowments, donors direct the College to place their gift in an endowment account. The College invests the money from that account and uses the income generated by the investment to fund Vassar Scholarships.
