Tomorrow's
financial strength and attainment of The Comprehensive Plan
for the 21st Century rests to a great degree on a solid endowment
base. A robust endowment enables the work of the University
in three key ways:
- Stability
to overcome unforeseen challenges;
- Flexibility
to take advantage of new opportunities; and
- Reliability
to safeguard against the eroding consequences of inflation.
Provision
for Reaching Goals
Investments from endowment generate income that allows the
University to accomplish goals that would be impossible on
tuition alone. These include:
- Faculty
Enhancement
- Academic
Programs
- Scholarship
Support
- Facilities
Upgrades and Maintenance
What It
Will Take
The SPU endowment stands at $29.4 million. This will help
ensure the realization of The Comprehensive Plan for the 21st
Century and that future SPU students will enjoy the same level
of quality education that students receive today. |
