Why a Named Scholarship Matters
Your named scholarship is a current-use fund—which means it’s put to work immediately, supporting students in the next academic year. Unlike endowed funds, this support doesn’t wait. It starts making a difference right away.

All gifts to Utah State University, including those made through the Gateway to Research Internship Campaign, are tax-deductible.
Current-use scholarship funds are designed to support students immediately, and your named fund will remain active until your full donation has been distributed to USU students.
There are two pathways to sustain your fund beyond the term of your original gift:
- You can replenish your immediate-use scholarship fund through additional contributions.
- You can establish an endowed fund that will support USU students in perpetuity with a gift of $25,000 or more (pledged over five years or fewer).
If you would like to discuss these options with a USU Advancement representative, please contact USU Gift Processing at 435-797-1320 or advgifts@usu.edu for instructions.
