Endowments & Named Scholarships
Scholarships & Student Recognition
Your scholarship is more than financial support — it’s someone’s belief in you.
As part of your enrollment, all incoming students are asked to complete the student bio form above. Your responses help Avila connect you with the donors who made your scholarship possible — people who chose to invest in your future before ever meeting you. Sharing your story allows us to honor that investment and let your donors know the real difference their generosity is making.
Below, you’ll find Avila’s named and endowed scholarships — each one is a reflection of hope, faith, and a deep belief in what our students can achieve.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowed scholarship is a permanent fund established through donor gifts, where the principal is invested and only a portion of the earnings is used each year to provide scholarship support for students. This ensures the scholarship can continue assisting students for generations to come.
Donor-Funded Scholarships
A donor-funded scholarship is supported by contributions made directly by an individual, family, organization, or business to provide immediate financial assistance to students. These funds are typically awarded from current-use gifts rather than investment earnings.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
The scholarships above exist because someone chose to believe in students they may never meet, and in a future worth investing in.
A named or endowed scholarship lets your values speak for generations. Whether you’re honoring a loved one or simply feeling called to give back, there is no gift quite like the one that opens a door for someone who simply needed the chance.
We’d be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out to learn more.
