The LANU board elected to start a scholarship endowment fund for the purpose awarding a scholarship to qualified undergraduates.

$56,350 has been raised, exceeding the original goal of $25,000 and the revised goal of $50,000. The University will provide a match of $50,000 for a total endowment fund of $106,350. This endowment will be sufficient to award two scholarships each year in perpetuity.

Ninety alumni contributed to the scholarship fund. One final solicitation will be mailed this year, and an annual solicitation will begin in 2004 to keep the endowment growing.

Your contribution to this endowment will help bring a scholarship award that much closer to one Junior and one Senior each year. Further information will be posted on this Web page.
