An endowment is the most lasting way to support the UT Health Science Center San Antonio, one of the country\u2019s leading health science universities.<\/p>\n
An endowment is a permanent gift that provides one of the most secure sources of future revenue. It is a gift to the Health Science Center that is permanently invested and a steady stream of annual income is created every year to support a specific activity or program of the donor\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n
Endowments can be established to support student scholarships, recruit and retain distinguished faculty, provide lectureships or support world-class research.<\/p>\n
The minimum gift amount level to establish an endowment is $10,000. Endowments can be funded in a variety of ways. Donors may choose to fund the endowment in its entirety or endowments may be pledged and paid out over a period of time up to five years. For example, an endowment at the $50,000 level may be created in installments of $10,000 per year for five years. Endowments may also be created through gifts of stock, a charitable trust or through a bequest in an estate plan.<\/p>\n
An endowment is often named to recognize the donor, or to celebrate a loved one, a mentor, a colleague or a treasured friend. It is a thoughtful gift that creates a legacy of remembrance for you and your loved ones and makes a lasting, meaningful difference in the lives of others.<\/p>\n
