During their lifetimes, the Chins made plans to open an endowed scholarship after their passing with the remaining balance from their Charitable Remainder Trust.
Begin thinking about the details of your fund using our Scholarship Fund Agreement. We will work with you to complete an additional Scholarship Addendum, which guides you through the parameters of your scholarship.
Learn about how you can help deserving students achieve their educational dreams with a Scholarship Fund at the Foundation.
With the assistance of our staff, you determine the eligibility criteria, field of study, award amount, and choice of institutions — from trade schools and community colleges to four-year universities. Depending on the degree to which you’d like to be involved, you may even choose to be a part of the selection committee.
The minimum to open a Scholarship Fund is $25,000. You may use cash, stock, or other appreciated assets to create your Scholarship Fund and qualify for an immediate income tax deduction in the year the gift is made. The Foundation’s staff will publicize the scholarship, guide the selection process, and send the award(s) to the recipient's educational institution.
