Private support through scholarships helps the College of Business attract a diverse and high-quality student body. As the cost of higher education increases and state funding decreases, the university relies on the generous support of Northern's alumni and friends to continue making higher education accessible to all deserving students.
Scholarship funds exist in perpetuity because they are a portion of the interest income from the endowment, not the principal that serves as the source for scholarship funding. Preserving the principal enables business students to benefit from your generosity year after year.
If you are interested in establishing a new scholarship, contact Anthony A. D'Andrea, Director of Development - Senior Gift & Estate Planning Officer by email or at (815) 753-1736.
