Scholarships
Fayetteville Technical Community College Foundation, in conjunction with the Financial Aid Office, awards scholarships to current and incoming students. Scholarships are available based on financial need, major, or academic performance.
Endowed Scholarships
What is an Endowed Scholarship?
An endowed scholarship is one in which the principal is invested for long-term appreciation, and only the income from the investment of the funds will be used to award scholarships. The donors of endowed scholarships have the satisfaction of knowing that their gift is perpetual and is used only for the specific purposes prescribed by them. Endowed scholarships are typically named in honor or memory of an individual or in the name of an organization or business.
The benefactor of an FTCC Foundation, Inc. scholarship chooses the criteria which determines the eligibility of a student for a particular scholarship. As with all other contributions to the FTCC Foundation, Inc., contributions to scholarship funds are tax-deductible donations.
Donation Amount
In order for your gift to fund a perpetual scholarship, the FTCC Foundation, Inc. encourages a minimum level of $15,000 for endowed scholarships. Donors may make an initial investment below $15,000 with later investments increasing the amount to $15,000 or more.
For example, a donor may contribute $5,000 to establish the endowment for the first year. For the next two years, the donor would contribute an additional $5,000 to the endowment to reach the $15,000 necessary. It is recommended to only award a scholarship once the $15,000 level is attained, unless a donor contributes an annual sum to cover one scholarship.
If a scholarship is not endowed with a minimum of $15,000 within three years of its establishment, the funds may be transferred to the Foundation’s Endowment Fund or awarded as a scholarship based on the direction of the Foundation Finance Committee or its designee. However, the Foundation will first consult with the endowed scholarship donor.
