Living and Endowed Scholarships
Both living and endowed scholarships are substantial gifts, which enable the Bronco Bench to cover the annual costs of room, board, and tuition for a student-athlete. Living scholarships are four-year commitments, while endowed scholarships provide aid in perpetuity because gifts are placed in a permanently held fund in which only the generated interest is used to cover the costs of the scholarship. In both cases, the scholarship bears the name of the donor or designee.
The Bronco Bench Foundation Endowment Listing
Endowed Scholarships are established by gifts to The Bronco Bench Foundation, which enable students to participate in the University's athletic program. They are funded by the individuals whose names they bear or by bequests and gifts honoring the persons named. These endowments are full tuition, room & board; or full tuition and partial room & board; or partial tuition. The students named to the fully-funded scholarships may be receiving less aid than those endowments provide. The students named to the full tuition and partial tuition scholarships may be receiving more or less aid than those endowments provide.
