Your Gift Can Last Forever
An endowment gift to Indiana University today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at IU. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
An Example of How It Works
"Students today could never do what I did," says Dr. Jean Creek (BS'49, MD'52). But he's not bragging. Jean is talking about how he worked his way through school.
"When I first came to IU, undergraduate tuition was $44 a semester and $100 at the [IU] School of Medicine," he recalls.
In the fall of 2012, those amounts were $4,375 and $16,346 respectively. This difference in education costs is partly what inspired Jean and his wife, Doris Shoultz Creek, to create four scholarships for IU medical students. In addition to their medical scholarships, the Creeks have endowed a scholarship in the IU Jacobs School of Music.
