An endowment fund can be thought of as a savings account that pays interest. Income from an endowment supports in perpetuity scholarships, professorships, or a program of your choosing at Texas State. As we confront the challenges of the future, we know that the generosity of those who assist us in endowing scholarships and other programs will make all the difference in our success and the success of our students.

An endowment may be set up with an outright gift or a combination of an outright gift (20% of the required funding) and a pledge.

The following is a partial list of endowment categories and minimum funding requirements:

Endowments can be funded with cash, marketable securities, real estate, life insurance, bequests, or retirement plans. Funding arrangements can be made through a College of your choice or by contacting the Development Office at 512-245-2396.
