A donor scholarship is a form of financial aid for students at University of the West. Scholarship applicants are awarded based on a demonstration of academic aptitude, merit, personal character, and financial need.

Endowment

An endowment is an amount of money that is given to the university with a stipulation that the funds are invested to earn annual interest rather than those which are available for immediate use. A portion of the annual earnings is used to award student scholarships or support specific programs. The minimum endowment contribution amount is $10,000. For more information on endowment, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  at the UWest Foundation Office.
