Endowment

Endowment supports nearly every activity at Hope, providing the resources essential for the college to perform at the very highest level in offering an outstanding education for the college's students.

Endowment support is essential for attracting and retaining talented faculty and students. A strong endowment also helps ensure that Hope is able to continue to admit students based on their academic achievement regardless of their ability to pay. It pays for everything from faculty salaries and student scholarships, to putting computers into Hope laboratories.

Endowment's impact on tuition is significant. Through the combination of endowment income, support to the Hope Fund and income from auxiliary enterprises such as camps and conferences, Hope is able to give each student, effectively, a tuition discount of nearly $6,000.

Endowment gifts to the college have made a substantial difference in enhancing the college's ability to offer an outstanding educational experience.
