The endowment is made up of gifts and bequests that are subject to a requirement that the principal remain intact and invested to create a source of revenue to be used by Dean College. Donors to Dean may set-up individual endowment funds for a specific or restricted purpose, such as scholarships or professorships.

Specific or restricted endowed funds are gifts that keep on giving. The original gift is invested to earn yearly interest, which in turn is used to support students and other college priorities. For example, a donor to Dean College who gives a gift of $50,000 can establish an endowed scholarship fund to support a superior student who may be burdened with a financial hardship.

These donors are then recognized by the College in annual reports, entitled membership into a Giving Society and/or the Oliver Dean Heritage Society, and forge lasting relationships with our students and faculty.
