Scholarships

FSW State College manages donations that are used to assist thousands of students realize their goals for higher education. Over the past five years, almost $8 million in scholarships have been awarded to deserving students. Members of our Faculty and Staff also support students through our Dedicate to Graduate Scholarship.

Options

There are a variety of ways for your generosity to impact students. Some options include:

  • Donate for current year scholarships. Donations made in this way will be used immediately or in the upcoming semester to assist as many students as possible.
  • Create an endowed fund. Only the interest earned on your donation will be used for funding scholarships. This allows the original donation to be kept intact indefinitely, making it possible to fund scholarships in perpetuity. We will endow a fund once it reaches $50,000.
  • Donate to an already established endowed fund. We have many different endowed funds that are designated for various purposes, programs, and students. View the list of our current endowed funds, or call us at 239-489-9210 to discuss how you want to make an impact!
  • Become a member of our Legacy Society – Leave your lasting legacy at FSW by naming FSW Foundation as a beneficiary in your estate plan, will, retirement account, insurance policy, or trust.
