Campaign for Delaware:
Positioning the College
for the Challenges Ahead
Gifts to the Campaign for Delaware may be directed to any department or program in the College of Engineering. Opportunities for naming endowed funds begin at the following minimum levels:
| Undergraduate scholarship endowments | $25,000 |
| Graduate fellowship endowments | $50,000 |
| Endowed professorships (supplemental) | $250,000 |
| Endowed chairs | $1,000,000 |
| Endowment for Young Scholar-Teachers | $100,000 |
| Facilities | $100,000 |
| Other funds | $10,000-25,000 |
All gifts toward endowments are placed in the University’s endowment holdings, where they are pooled for investment purposes. Each year, part of the investment income is used to support the fund’s stated purpose. The remainder is reinvested in the principal as a shield against inflation and as a tool for growth.
