The Campaign for Delaware:
Positioning the University
for the Challenges Ahead
| Graduate fellowship endowments | $50,000 |
| Endowed professorships (supplemental) | $250,000 |
| Endowed chairs | $1-3 million |
| Endowment for Young Scholar-Teachers | $100,000 |
| Other funds | $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.
