You can support the College and our students by making a gift to the SOWELA Foundation for:
Scholarships
General Scholarship Fund: Donors can make a gift of any size to this fund. It is open to all students, regardless of their field of study, and is based on financial need and academic achievement.
NOW Scholarship: Donors can create and name a NOW Scholarship with a one-time minimum contribution of $4,000. Once the proceeds from the NOW Scholarship is awarded to a student(s), the fund is depleted and the scholarship ends.
Endowed Scholarship: Donors can create and name an Endowed Scholarship by making a one-time or pledged contribution (payable over a 3-year period) of a $10,000 minimum gift. Once the minimum endowment level of $10,000 has been reached, the funds are invested for one year. After one year, the interest earned from the funds may then be awarded to the student(s). The principle will remain intact in perpetuity. Funds may be added to the named endowed scholarship at any time.
