Colleges and universities rely on endowment income for an increasing proportion of their revenues. Financial resources invested on behalf of the University provide income for University leaders to take advantage of strategic opportunities, weather economic downturns, and recruit talented students and faculty. An endowment creates financial stability, allowing Vanguard University to be less dependent on unpredictable sources of revenue.
Thank you to the donors who have given generously to the endowment. The following scholarships and funds have been established for specific purposes as part of the larger endowment. If you are interested in giving to one of these funds or establishing a new one, please contact Kelly Kannwischer at officevpua@vanguard.edu or 714.966.5450.
