To do that, Eastman must first meet one of the most pressing needs for gifted students: scholarship assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Student support is a top priority, and by contributing to scholarship funds or creating your own scholarship, you can help keep the Eastman experience accessible to qualified and deserving students\u2014regardless of their financial backgrounds\u2014while providing a way for more students to train without the burden of debt.<\/p>\n<p>Investing in young musicians at Eastman will make an impact on the world as they become leading artists and paradigm-changing innovators. There are two types of scholarships in which you can invest\u2014endowed and current-use:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"utopia\">Endowed scholarships<\/h3>\n<p>Eastman strives to provide the resources necessary to help students flourish in their training and future careers. Endowed scholarships accomplish this in perpetuity.<\/p>\n<p>Endowed gifts are invested and managed by the University. A portion of the investment earnings is spent, while the original gifts are preserved as principal. In this way, endowed gifts have far greater earning power\u2014a one-time gift lasts forever.<\/p>\n<p>By establishing an endowed scholarship, you also establish a legacy of support for the most promising musicians. The calculations below demonstrate funding available based on using 5% of the fund\u2019s five-year rolling market value.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598647168008{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #e7e7e7 !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"utopia\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed scholarship levels<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Patron $1 million+<br \/>\n<\/strong>Initially yields approximately $50,000 in annual scholarship support<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Benefactor $600,000+<br \/>\n<\/strong>Initially yields approximately $30,000 in annual scholarship support<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Supporting $100,000+<br \/>\n<\/strong>Initially yields approximately $5,000 annual scholarship support<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"utopia\">George Eastman Circle Scholarships<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/adv\/eastman-centennial\/the-centennial-campaign\/ways-to-give\/scholarships\/\">George Eastman Circle Scholarships<\/a>\u00a0are an opportunity to have an immediate impact on students by providing current-use funds, which are disbursed as soon as the following academic year.
