2. Temporary scholarship funds may be created (using both principal and income for distributions.) This type of fund is typically created as a short term solution for scholarship needs.  
3. Generally speaking an endowed scholarship fund will produce scholarship distributions of 4% of the fund value.  
4. The fund can be named for the donor or his designee.  
5. Specific scholarship selection criteria can be determined by the donor within accepted Foundation guidelines. You can be creative. Let's talk about your wishes to see what is possible.
