Whatever your interest, there is most likely an area of the University that can benefit from an endowment. Endowment funds can also serve as a lasting legacy to honor or to memorialize someone special. Funds may be in the name of the donor, their family, or other designation. Methodist University has numerous opportunities to create a lasting endowment. The amounts below reflect the minimum commitment needed to fully fund the various endowments.

Here are just a few examples:

• The G. Gordon Dixon '66 Endowed Education Scholarship assists students pursuing a degree in education .
• The Claudia H. Dudley '67 Endowed Scholarship gives priority to non-traditional female students.
• The Walter M. and Loretta S. Swing Accounting Scholarship assists students pursuing a degree in Accounting.
• The Col. (Ret.) David R. Nimocks Professorship of Business is awarded to a faculty member in the Reeves School of Business as an expression of appreciation of the role that Methodist plays in the education of students.
• The Wesley Heritage Celebration Fund was established to provide a perpetual fund to celebrate the heritage and continuing promise of the John and Charles Wesley tradition in the context of a vibrant college campus. This fund may be used for lectures, dramas, library resources, course offerings, workshops, and visiting Wesley scholars among others.

Endowed Scholarships - $25,000
There is no cause more noble than that of providing someone the means to attain an education. Endowed scholarships allow a donor to set aside funds that are permanently designated for tuition relief for qualified and deserving students. Donors may structure the criteria that are used to award the scholarship according to their personal preferences or the type of student they desire to assist, including financial need and academic standing.

If it is true that the ideas and dreams of today's youth germinate the seeds that will become tomorrow's leaders and education is the fertile ground from which they grow, then scholarship support is the nourishment that sustains them.

Over 150 students and scholarship representatives gathered on November 5th during Methodist University's 10th Endowed Scholarship Luncheon for the opportunity to learn more about each other. For students, it was an opportunity to personally thank the individuals who made it possible for them to attend Methodist University. For scholarship donors, it allowed them to share their own experiences and to know that they were making a difference in their student's life.

Speakers for the event included Margaret Alexander, Class of 1967, representing the Margaret Stafford Alexander Scholarship and the Mary Neal Alexander Memorial Scholarship; Felicia Back, a recipient of the BB&T Merit Scholarship; Lamirica Langley, a recipient of the W. Robert & Thelma Johnson & Robert Neal Scholarship; Staci Chiomento, a recipient of the Frank Barragan, Jr. Scholarship; and Colton Woods, a recipient of the James Carter Black, Sr. and Florence Siems Black Endowed Scholarship.

President M. Elton Hendricks expressed appreciation to all who had provided scholarship funding, stating that scholarships from donors like themselves had enabled him to attend college.
