Endowed Scholarships

WEA maintains the endowment funds in perpetuity and makes the net income available on a regular basis to be distributed according to donor wishes. To discuss endowed scholarships please contact us.

University General Scholarship
Washburn University depends on general scholarships to recruit and retain some of Washburn's top students. This valuable tool provides scholarship support through a pooled fund for many students who have not yet determined their major.

The Washburn Annual Fund
The Washburn Annual fund is primarily designed to raise unrestricted funds. Contributions to the Washburn Fund can critically shape the life of Washburn students and expand campus horizons. Unrestricted funds can be used whenever and wherever they are needed the most.

The needs change somewhat each year, however; generally unrestricted gifts are used to fund instruction and academic support, scholarships, student services, administration, maintenance, and campus beautification projects. In fact, every academic department receives a portion of the funds. Washburn students call alumni throughout the year sharing new developments on campus and seeking support.
