What is the Villanova Endowment?

The Villanova Endowment serves as a vital and restricted fund, designed to create a sustainable income stream for crucial projects, most notably merit-based and need-based student scholarships. The interest accrued from these investments plays a pivotal role, extending a helping hand to students who otherwise might struggle to afford the enriching educational opportunities provided by the institution.
