Update:
Our Scholarship Fund
|
|
|
|
Most of us are painfully aware of the financial challenges
the University faced in 2008, 2009 and 2010, particularly
with respect to our endowment. Markets were down which
negatively impacted most University endowments. The
good news is that while the economy is far from robust,
we have much more positive towards our Bay Area
Scholarship Endowment. Throughout the year, we raised
significant funds to add to our scholarship fund through
donations and events. In particular, our annual golf
tournament and awards dinner raised almost $5,000.
We're looking forward to an equally successful event in
2012 (details to follow in a few months).
2011 results are not yet available, but our endowment
ended the fiscal year of June 30, 2010 with a total of
$49,592.87. We've raised this amount through the hard
work of our Bay Area Board and the generosity and
participation of our many Bay Area Alumni. Because of
our success, we are able to fund annual awards to
outstanding Bay area scholars to attend the University.
Typically, we are able to contribute anywhere from $1,500
- $2,000 annually. As our endowment grows, our ability to
provide more significant annual scholarships will also
grow. Given these challenging economic times, every
dollar we can contribute helps ease a students financial
burden.
