Endowments
Endowments are an excellent way to ensure the continued support of Trojan Athletics. Each year the earned interest is used to pay scholarships while the principal is reinvested. An endowed scholarship can be in your name or the name of a loved one. You can also designate which specific program you want to support or contribute to existing endowments.

Gifts or services can be donated to the athletic department. The wholesale value of your gift will be credited to your name, as well as the deduction for the contribution. Printing, furniture, floral, catering, office supplies and building supplies are all areas of need for the athletic department.
