ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS

Creating an endowed scholarship in the name of a loved one allows you to create an enduring legacy that will honor their passions and interests and encourage others to pursue similar endeavors.

VTF can serve as a tax favorable vehicle for initiating and maintaining an endowment for a specific purpose and length of time. Typically, endowed scholarships are awarded annually. Small and large donations can be made until the desired financial goal for the scholarship can be reached. VTF does not charge an administrative fee for the initial term of the agreement.
