Support Students
Scholarships help our students focus on what’s important – their education. The College offers nearly 200 scholarships each year to help students pay their tuition and other educational expenses, such as field study costs.
Support Research
Research and faculty support strengthens our ability to recruit and retain faculty researchers who perform research that applies to addressing critical natural resource and environmental challenges.
Endowed College Professorships
Professorships are typically held by gifted faculty members whose accomplishments indicate great potential, allowing them to hone their teaching skills and refine their research areas. Earnings from college professorship endowments supplement faculty salary lines.
Endowed University Professorship
These professorships enhance faculty positions held by scholars/teachers with outstanding qualifications. The achievements and qualifications of Distinguished Professors are expected to be very high, stetting them apart from the majority of their colleagues. Earnings from college professorship endowments supplement faculty salary lines.

University and Presidential Endowed Chair

Endowments
What is an endowment? An endowment creates a perpetual source of funding by keeping the principal of the gift intact forever. Only the income from the fund’s earnings can be spent to support Colorado State University in the manner of your choice. Your endowment gift will support Colorado State in perpetuity.
Why choose an endowment?
The benefit of an endowment is that you make a difference immediately and forever! Income is earned perpetually and used according to the gift’s purpose.
How much funding does an endowment generate?
4.25% of an endowment’s annual revenue is awarded. So, a $50,000 endowment generates approximately $2,500 in support per year. A $1 million dollar endowment generates $42,500 in annual support.
What kinds of endowments can be established?
Endowed funds can support students, faculty, research, and programs. Explore the options on this page to learn more.
