ESTABLISHMENT OF ENDOWMENT FUND The bulk of the financial support for Bowen University is expected to come from the Baptist Family, both at home and abroad. However, corporate bodies, individual donors, international organizations and foundations are requested to contribute substantially to the financial needs of Bowen University, since everyone stands to benefit from the education and training programmes that the institution provides. The fact remains that Bowen University has to be funded adequately in order to be able to actualize its vision and mission, and to effectively carry out its commitments as outlined in its development plan. The following objectives are paramount in the establishment of the Bowen University Endowment Fund: - To provide an opportunity for public participation in funding Bowen University. The stake-holders in particular, corporate bodies, parents, guardians and public-spirited individuals are encouraged to donate generously to the Fund.
- To provide alternative and supplementary funds for supporting priority projects that are not covered by grants from the Nigerian Baptist Convention, the proprietor.
We welcome contributions to the Bowen University Endowment Fund. Donors may make their contributions in cash or kind to any of the following projects: - Endowment of building projects,
- Endowment of chairs,
- Research and Development,
- Scholarships,
- Travel and conference grants,
- Bequeathing libraries, wills and academic papers.
