Gateway to Research Internship Campaign

Through the Gateway to Research Internship, you can create a named scholarship that directly supports real-world, faculty-guided research opportunities for USU students.

• Your gift will be used only for the above-stated purpose if the required minimum expendable level of $10,000 is met in four years.  If not met, the gift will be moved to a general fund with a similar purpose. 
• If circumstances arise that render the stated purpose of the gifts (as set forth herein) illegal, impractical, impossible, or wasteful (e.g., a change in law, the elimination of a USU program, position, or course of study, the persistent unavailability of scholarship recipients that meet the criteria, etc.); then, as set forth in this Solicitation, under such circumstances and in keeping with Utah Code 51-8-501(1), USU may designate a new purpose and/or scholarship selection criteria for the gifts.  Any such new purpose shall be defined by USU’s President and Vice President of Research.
• Effective July 1, 2021, a 5% university gift investment fee, governed by USU’s applicable policies, will be applied to all new, non-endowed gifts to improve University Advancement’s capacity to increase and manage philanthropic giving to USU. 
• By letter dated April 8, 1959, the Internal Revenue Service has declared USU (federal tax identification number 87-6000528), to be a duly qualified charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) and also an organization described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(iv) of the Internal Revenue Code.
