The Alcorn State University Foundation offers the opportunity for donors to establish Expendable Scholarship Funds and Endowed Scholarship Funds. Agency Funds may also be established by campus offices and organizations at Alcorn State University.
Expendable Scholarship Funds
An expendable scholarship fund may be established with an initial deposit of at least $1,500, and scholarships may be awarded as set forth by the criteria in the memorandum of understanding executed to establish the fund as long as the account has sufficient funds to cover the award(s).
Endowed Scholarship Funds
An endowed scholarship fund may be established with an initial deposit of at least $10,000. This amount, as well as any future contributions, will go directly to the principal balance. Scholarships will be awarded from interest generated on the principal balance as set forth by the criteria in the memorandum of understanding executed to establish the fund. Award(s) will only be made when enough interest has been generated to fund the award.
Agency Funds (University Campus Offices and Organizations Only)
Agency Funds may only be established by campus offices or organizations. An agency fund may be established with an initial deposit of at least $500.00, and funds in the account may be used to support the office/organization as set forth in the memorandum of understanding executed to establish the fund.
