In these difficult economic times, BGSU is working to ensure that all endowed scholarships and programs will be funded during the 2009-10 academic year. Given the global economic crisis and resulting diminished returns of these endowed accounts, the University has created Sustaining Tomorrow's Scholars, which will direct funding to those areas where there are insufficient earnings for the coming year.

We hope you will consider designating your gift to the Sustaining Tomorrow's Scholars fund, where it can have the most direct, immediate impact on our deserving scholarship students and programs. To do so, simply enter a dollar amount under the second line item in the "Gift Designation" portion of the following page, and thank you.

To make an online contribution using your credit card, please follow the link below. You may make your contribution using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. We cannot accept P-cards or Purchase cards.
