The Lint Center gives opportunities to others to create scholarships within the framework and goals of Lint Center.

Funding Methodologies

• Conventional method One method of making a difference is donating a lump sum amount to underwrite a scholarship you wish to create. Scholarship creation begins at $500 but the Center welcomes larger donations. Please note your donation will go directly to scholarship recipients. The amount you donate is the amount scholarship applicants will receive – no exceptions.
• Perpetual method

  The perpetuity approach is one which will last and will enable the scholarship to continue to give back. The Center is always on the lookout for donations that are large enough to generate interest/income to ensure the scholarship is self-sustaining. The primary purpose of this approach is to make a difference year after year. Such donations will be invested into a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at the market fixed rate of interest. As such, assuming a 5% interest rate on a $10,000 donation will generate approximately $500 annually to fund a scholarship. (Rates fluctuate.)Please note perpetual funds go directly to scholarship recipients. The Lint Center applies every penny earned to the scholarship fund.
