My Butler Journey
Tristan Rumsey '24
"Receiving scholarships at Butler was a key reason that I was able to attend the school. I am lucky to be leaving Butler with significantly less student loan debt than I may have had. In addition to my merit scholarship, I proudly received a scholarship as a part of the Morton-Finney Diversity Scholar Program, as well as several scholarships awarded during the outbreak of COVID-19. Without these scholarships, I likely would not have been able to afford the great education that I have received and gain the college experience that I have found at Butler."
Endowed Scholarships
Endow a named scholarship that will exist in perpetuity at Butler, benefitting untold numbers of future Bulldogs. Endowed scholarships can be established through a gift of at least $100,000, payable over five years. Or, donors can establish an endowed scholarship through a planned estate gift.
To learn more about how you can establish an endowed scholarship, contact Dawn Dinwiddie, Senior Director of Campaigns and Strategic Fundraising Initiatives, at ddinwiddie@butler.edu.
