Endowed Gifts Support Students, Faculty and Excellence in Learning

The Paul Engler College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences is grateful to be the recipient of over 100 designated endowed gifts that honor a loved one, a community leader, or support an industry that donors are passionate about seeing thrive into the future. Endowments financially support generations of students, leaders, and programs with a common goal of excellence in higher education that result in healthy families, workplaces and communities. 

The first College endowed scholarship has supported students for over 50 years. Continued generosity and support has grown College endowments to over $11 million!
