Endowment

Endowment is the financial bedrock of a university. It allows institutions to provide a broader, richer educational experience for their students. When you give to endowment at Shenandoah, you ensure how the money will be used and invested to yield stable, perpetual income that will serve talented and deserving students decade after decade. A strong endowment allows Shenandoah University to provide a broad educational experience, enriching its students, faculty and staff, and ensuring the future fiscal stability of the institution.

Scholarships, made possible through endowment funds, make tuition more affordable for students and the university more competitive.

Hiring and retaining outstanding faculty requires endowment support.

Educational publications, foundations and the U.S. government look at the size of an institution's endowment in making decisions about grants and rankings.
