Scholarships
For many Keuka students, a college education would be impossible without financial assistance.
For others, financial aid means more time focusing on their studies and less time working a part-time job to help fund their education.
Currently, 98 percent of our undergraduate student body receives financial assistance. Keuka distributes more than $9 million annually to students on a merit and/or need basis.
Endowed Scholarship
In order to establish an endowed scholarship, Keuka requires a gift commitment of at least $15,000, which may be paid into the account immediately or within five years of the date the endowment agreement is signed. In addition to gifts of cash, stock, or securities, an endowment may be funded through a variety of planned gift vehicles such as bequests, annuity or trust remainders, and life insurance policies.
Adopt-a-Student Scholarship
Through the Adopt–a–Student scholarship program, you may “adopt” one, or several, students who might not otherwise be able to attend Keuka due to financial need.
With a minimum contribution of $1,500 per year for four years, you can create an annual scholarship in your name or in honor of someone special.
You’ll have several opportunities to connect with your adopted student at a College-sponsored event, one-on-one meetings, telephone or e-mail.
One-Time Scholarship
A one-time gift (of any size) to be given as a scholarship in the year the gift is made.
