HOW ARE SCHOLARSHIPS STARTED & COMPLETED?
Endowed scholarships can be made with a single gift. They may also be started with a seed gift of $5,000 or more and an agreement to complete the endowment over time. Endowed scholarships may be completed through recurring giving or through a will bequest or other estate-plan provisions.
Gifts may be in the form of cash, appreciated securities, property, or through a Donor Advised Fund. All gifts to the Endowment Fund are tax-deductible. To make your gift, download and complete the
commitment form and return to Cor Jesu Academy, 10230 Gravois Road, St. Louis, MO 63123, Attn: Katie Thiemann, Endowed Scholarship.
BENEFITS OF ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS
An Endowed Scholarship provides a personal and permanent way for you to make a difference in the life of a student and her family. Your investment ensures that you will personally provide a Cor Jesu education for a deserving student during her time at Cor Jesu and for future students in perpetuity.
All Endowed Scholarship funds are invested together in a separate fund. The assets are invested in a fully diversified portfolio and part of a disciplined investment program overseen by Cor Jesu’s Investment Committee. Scholarships are provided by the distributions made from the investment portfolio.
Scholarship eligibility at Cor Jesu Academy is determined by a need-based assessment through FACTS Management.
