Create a Fellowship

Endow a fellowship at Curtis to support a full-tuition scholarship, needs-based student financial assistance. In recognition, Curtis will assign a student to hold your fellowship.

Fellowships at Curtis provide financial support for the merit-based full-tuition scholarship, needs-based student assistance or both. The Fellowship can be funded with an annual gift (from year to year), or an endowment can be established to fund a fellowship for 20 years or in perpetuity, at the levels shown here:

Education and Training Fellowship
Endowment in perpetuity: $150,000
Endowment for a 20-year term: $75,000
Annual Gift: $7,500

Student Assistance Fellowship
Endowment in perpetuity: $150,000
Endowment for a 20-year term: $75,000
Annual Gift: $7,500

Comprehensive Fellowship
Endowment in perpetuity: $250,000
Endowment for a 20-year term: $150,000
Annual Gift: $15,000

Fellowship Recognition
The Institute will select a student fellowship recipient, taking into consideration the preferences of the donor. Fellowships receive prominent recognition in concert programs and on a placard in the foyer to Field Concert Hall. Many of those who support the fellowship program at Curtis attend recitals given by their students and develop long-lasting student-patron relationships.

Approximately two-thirds of all Curtis students hold endowed or annually funded fellowships. During the school year ended May 31, 2004, these new fellowships were established at Curtis:

Amaranth Foundation Fellowship
Walter and Lenore Annenberg Fellowship
Richard A. and Mary K. Doran Fellowship
Florence Kirk Keppel Fellowship
Alma & Edwin Lakin Fellowship
Mr. and Mrs. Shaun O'Malley Fellowship
Ann and Howard Sacks Fellowship
Arthur Tracy Fellowship
Ronald and Patricia Stone Fellowship
Harry & Jeanette Yanoff Fellowship

Ways to Give
Your gift to create an endowed fellowship can be made in one payment or pledged over a period of not more than five years, in which case Curtis will establish the fellowship upon receipt of the first payment. Other options to create fellowships at Curtis include Life-Income Plans (charitable remainder trusts, the Curtis Pooled Income Fund and charitable gift annuities) and Wills and Bequests
(gifts to Curtis that are part of your estate plan, include wills, trusts, life insurance policies and qualified retirement plans).
