A unique opportunity
to increase the power
of your gift.
The College of Veterinary Medicine is part of a
new University-wide program to build our endowments
for student support. The program is called Fast Start
4 Impact, and it’s only available for a limited time,
with a special benefit to donors making gifts for new
endowed funds.
Why Fast Start is financially smart
Typically, an endowment fund starts small and grows
over four years. Fast Start changes that, awarding
students right away, in an amount that is roughly
equivalent to the payout of a fully established fund.
How Fast Start works
For each new endowment gift or four-year pledge
of $50,000 or greater, Fast Start will pay four years
of annual scholarship or fellowship awards to College of
Veterinary Medicine students, while the earnings on the
new endowment fund are re-invested for growth.
