When you establish an endowment, your generosity to Eastern Athletics will live on forever. Because the principal of your gift remains intact, with the proceeds providing an ongoing source of support, your endowment will support Eags for generations. Endowment gifts may be pledged over time and qualify you for priority points and special benefits.
Scholarships are one of Eastern Athletics’ largest annual expenses. When you endow a scholarship, you give a student-athlete the opportunity for a world-class education at Eastern Washington University. The more scholarships covered by endowments, the more funds we free up to support and retain our great coaches and provide fans with an exhilarating game-day experience. A minimum gift of $25,000, payable over five years, establishes an endowed scholarship and makes a lasting impact on our student-athletes.
I am beyond thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given here at Eastern. I am beyond grateful to play at such a high level while recieving an educations.
