Ensuring the Future of College Scholars
There are several ways to contribute financially to the College Scholars Program. Annual donations go into the College Scholars Excellence Fund, which is primarily used to support student projects. In recent years, funds from the Excellence Fund have been used to support student theatrical productions and art exhibitions, travel to conferences, and scientific research among other projects.
The easiest way to donate to the Excellence Fund is to visit our website, scholars.utk.edu, and click on the “Give to College Scholars” link in the menu.
College Scholars Program alumni and friends have established several endowments over the years which are primarily used for student scholarships. As the cost of college increases, the need for scholarship funds also increases. There are other program needs and dreams that can benefit from the support of an endowment. For example, we would like to establish an endowment to support the annual visit of a distinguished interdisciplinary scholar who would interact with the scholars and also deliver a public lecture.
If you have the means, consider establishing a new endowment, or contributing to an existing one.
There are several ways to do this including an estate gift. For more information on how to establish an endowment, please contact:
