Endowed Chairs and Professorships
In addition to conferring professional distinction, endowed chairs and professorships provide critical supplemental funds for an existing academic position, wherein the income from the endowment is used to contribute towards the salary of the holder, provide support for research assistants, postdoctoral researchers, technicians, clerical support, travel and equipment and can provide a source of matching funds for other income.
For a donor, endowing a chair or professorship demonstrates a sophisticated understanding and appreciation for the university's mission of excellence in education and research. Through such gifts, donors evidence their continuing commitment to the faculty member, the position and specialty. Moreover, benefactors partner with the university to advance the acquisition of knowledge and provide the impetus for unprecedented breakthroughs and discoveries. With pride and gratitude, the names of these generous donors (or their designees) are dedicated with the endowed chairs and remain in perpetuity to provide fitting recognition of their unique and outstanding philanthropy.
Endowed Faculty Scholars and Faculty Fellows
The endowment of a faculty fellow or faculty scholar enables the university to attract, retain, and honor preeminent academics and researchers whose scholarly accomplishments enrich the university's teaching and research activities. Such prestigious appointments also serve as inspiration for both students and colleagues. Additionally, endowed faculty fellows and scholars strengthen the academic mission of the university by providing permanent support for an established field of study or specialty, or by providing the focal point for a new area of inquiry.
Endowed Scholarships
New York Medical College recognizes the crucial need to improve its student scholarship and financial aid resources. The university's ability to matriculate and retain a highly gifted student body is, and always will be, essential to the institution's growth and reputation for continued academic excellence. Indeed, the availability of scholarship funds is a vital underpinning to sustain the university's role as a leader in health sciences education. Endowing a scholarship makes it possible for a donor to create an ongoing scholarship support base.
Other Opportunities
Gift opportunities of varying levels exist to name a wide host of rooms, laboratories, classrooms, auditoria, and more. Please contact Julie A. Kubaska, Vice President, Development and Alumni Relations, at (914) 594-4529 for more information.
