Endowed Professorships and Scholarships

What are endowments and how do they work?

An endowment represents a compact between a donor and an institution. It consists of gifts which are permanently endowed (or saved) and which are generally named after the donor, a loved one (living or deceased) or a favorite college professor or dean. The donor who establishes a named endowment fund at LSUE may choose the program and/or area that will benefit from the endowment. Endowments can also be named after the donors choosing and declared unrestricted. The purpose of these funds are to enhance programs set in place by the Chancellor.

Part of the annual interest earned from each named endowment is used to support the programs selected by the donor, and a portion is reinvested so that the donor's endowed gift will remain in perpetuity and grow over time. Creating an endowment links past, current, and future generations. It allows an institution to make commitments far into the future, knowing that resources to meet those commitments will continue to be available. For further information on endowments or to establish an endowment at LSUE, contact the LSUE Foundation at 337.550.1257.
