Rosenthal, MD '64 Scholarship Julius Schwartz, MD '33 Scholarship John B. and Henrietta Simeone Scholarship in memory of Fiorindo A. Simeone, MD Looking to endow a scholarship or award? The Upstate Medical Alumni Foundation, under the direction of the Executive Director, and with the consent and guidance of the Board of Directors, is charged with the responsibility for all scholarships on behalf of the College of Medicine. Gifts to the endowment create permanent and self-perpetuating income sources for important College needs. They are critical to the future of Upstate Medical University and the College of Medicine. Endowments are needed to finance scholarships to deserving students. A scholarship is perpetual, providing that donated funds are conserved and augmented, and that the investment income funds not only the needs of today's students, but the needs of future generations as well. The minimum amount required to establish a named endowment fund is $25,000, contributed over a period of not more than five years. The corpus of the endowed account is defined as that amount originally endowed by the donor plus any future endowed amounts contributed to the fund by the donor. If the donor specifies that a certain designated percentage of the appreciation, dividends and/or interest from the account are to become part of the endowed portion annually to pay the endowment, that amount will also become part of the corpus of the fund and may never be spent. back to top |
