The Hall of Honor at the 小蝌蚪APP grew by 26 Thursday night. The number of plaques in the Hall grow each year as the Foundation honors donors who established endowments at UL Lafayette.
This year小蝌蚪APP檚 honorees created one chair, 12 professorships and nine scholarships. In addition, recognized donors created two research endowments and made contributions to the Paul and Lulu Hilliard 小蝌蚪APP Art Museum and athletics.
These endowments are represented each with a plaque in the 小蝌蚪APP Foundation Distinguished Donor Hall of Honor at Martin Hall. This year小蝌蚪APP檚 additions brings the total number of plaques in the Hall to 250. Each plaque includes the names of the donors and represents a contribution of $50,000 or more for endowed chairs, professorships, scholarships, athletics and faculty development funds.
小蝌蚪APP Each year, the university小蝌蚪APP檚 list of donors grows longer and longer and the Hall of Honor continually gets larger. This is a testament to the generous spirits of the university小蝌蚪APP檚 donors and their commitment to higher education and UL Lafayette,小蝌蚪APP said Julie Bolton Falgout, executive director of the Foundation.
The UL Lafayette Foundation Distinguished Donor Hall of Honor recognizes private gifts given to the university. These gifts generate funds in perpetuity.
The principal from the endowment remains in a perpetual fund that continues to increase while earned income is distributed as dedicated for student scholarships, professor salaries or research supplements.
Through the Louisiana Board of Regents Support Fund, the state matches funds raised by the university for endowed chairs and professorships. For every $600,000 UL Lafayette receives for an endowed chair, the state matches $400,000, bringing each chair to $1 million. Likewise, for every $60,000 UL Lafayette receives for a professorship, the state provides a $40,000 match, bringing each professorship to $100,000.
小蝌蚪APP The benefits from these endowments are far-reaching. They will help students and faculty on campus now and they will also contribute to the lives of students and faculty for many years to come,小蝌蚪APP said Dr. Ray Authement, UL Lafayette president. 小蝌蚪APP淚t小蝌蚪APP檚 wonderful to see higher education as a priority for so many people and it小蝌蚪APP檚 wonderful to know higher education will remain a priority because of these donors小蝌蚪APP gifts.小蝌蚪APP
