These days, we hear a lot about visionaries. People who have had
the foresight to imagine the future as they want it to be and do
something - just one significant thing - to set off a chain of
events that makes that envisioned future come true.
You can be that visionary.
The chain of events has several links, but the first—and most
important—is your establishment of a scholarship gift at St. John's
University. The links in the chain are connected as you see in the
graphic.
Your gift---The gift given opens a mind---The mind opened
promises unbounded possibility---Unbounded possibility changes a
life---A life changed improves the future
When you give the gift of establishing a scholarship, you make a
difference in the lives of students and help to secure the future
of our institution. You assist promising young students who,
without your vision and commitment to philanthropy, may not
otherwise have the means to attend college.
Unlike other types of financial aid, scholarships don’t need to
be repaid. That means students who receive scholarships are not
only relieved of debt, but also of the stress associated with
coming up with necessary funds to pay for tuition and related
education costs.
Through your actions, you demonstrate to young people how
important it is to be part of a chain of events that can change
lives - and change the future.
Take the First Step Today
When you give the gift of a scholarship, you receive all associated
tax benefits.
You are also given the opportunity to name the gift you are so
generously giving. Name the fund for yourself, in honor or memory
of someone else, or after a cause that is important to you. After
all, your endowed scholarship continues forever.
We can give you more information about annual or endowed
scholarships that fit your financial, philanthropic and feel-good
goals, all while helping you make your envisioned future come
true.
Please take the first step to fulfilling your dreams - and the
dreams of a student - today by contacting St. John's. For
