Endowments
Invest in the future of design education.
Endowment gifts are a long-lasting investment in the future of Design education and one of the most important that a donor can make. An endowment provides income in perpetuity for a scholarship, fellowship, professorship, or other named priority. The principal of the gift remains invested while only the endowment’s annual income is used for the donor’s chosen purpose. Donors can create their own endowed funds or contribute to an existing fund.
Scholarships
Endowed scholarships are an investment in the future of Design. A scholarship provides students not only the ability to attend the College of Design, but they are an inspiration that others are interested in investing in their future. Scholarships also allow the college to recruit a student body that fuels a rich culture of discovery and learning.
Minimum Endowment levels for named Scholarships:
- A gift of $500,000 or more provides full-tuition support for a student in a program of the donor’s choice as well as a stipend for experiential learning, service-learning or study abroad.
- A gift of $50,000 or more provides a partial merit-based scholarship in a program of the donor’s choice in recognition of the student’s exceptional academic ability, talent and potential.
- A gift of $50,000 or more provides a partial merit- or need-based scholarship for a student in an undergraduate program of the donor’s choice.

Helping our students and faculty do more
Over the Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign, the College of Design has tripled the value of its endowments. Endowments are the bedrock of great universities and create sustainable support for the college.
Professorships and Faculty Support Funds
From its founding, the College of Design has a record of bringing outstanding faculty to teach and mentor students—from Eduardo Catalano, Joe Cox and Randy Hester. This is still a tradition today. We are proud of the relationships that our faculty build with our students—everyone on a first-name basis is unique to design.
During this campaign, one of our top priorities is endowed professorships: building a diverse faculty strong in teaching, research, and professional experience, continuing to provide the outstanding educational experience that the college is known for and enhancing our profile/reputation.
- An endowed professorship will allow us to recruit top faculty from across the country and the world, which will increase our reputation, rankings, and increase prospective student interest.
- The college will be able to provide research support and start-up costs for innovative young faculty, which will bring new ideas and opportunities for students to have hands-on research experience with a faculty member.
- With a named professorship we will be able to retain top faculty by providing competitive compensation. Faculty retention is vital to the college’s success.
Minimum Levels:
- Deanship – $3,000,000
- Department Head – $2,000,000
- Faculty Chair – $2,500,000
- Named Distinguished Professorship – $1,000,000
- Faculty Award – $100,000
