Reedley College Foundation

Founded October 19, 1966

The Reedley College Foundation was established to answer the need for a legally constitutedagency to receive scholarship endowments, to manage and invest the contributions, and todisburse funds for the development and general welfare of Reedley College and its students.

Each year the Reedley College Foundation offers more than 75 different scholarship awardsranging from $100-$1000. These gifts come from local families and businesses. The ReedleyCollege Foundation is unique in its ability to provide the services whereby individuals or firmscan establish perpetual scholarships to aid students. Scholarships are paid from the interestearned on invested principal (the principal is never used).

An endowment of $2,000 at 5% interest generates an award of $100, which is the minimumaward given. As interest earnings fluctuate, so does the amount of the scholarship award.However, it is not necessary to deposit the entire $2,000 all at once. Many scholarships havebeen started with less and earned yearly interest until the $100 minimum award can be given.

For more information, please contact Laurie Bolton at (559) 897-7328 or Mary Agrifoglio at (559) 275-3706.

Information Concerning theEstablishment of a Reedley

College Foundation Scholarship

The Foundation is unique in its ability to provide a last-ing memorial whereby individuals or firms can establisha perpetual scholarship to aid students. Scholarships arepaid from the earnings on the endowment once theamount reaches $2,000.00. For example, an endowmentof $2,000.00 at 5% interest generates a scholarship awardof $100.00 per year, the minimum award given. As con-tributions and earnings fluctuate, so does the amount ofthe scholarship award. However, it is not necessary todeposit the $2,000.00 all at once. Many scholarships havestarted with less, been added to from time to time, andearned yearly interest until the $100.00 minimum awardcan be given.

You select the name of the scholarship you wish to estab-lish and outline the criteria you want a student to meet inorder to receive your scholarship. A committee made upof Board members screen and select the students whobest meet that criteria.
