遗赠
![]() |
A 遗产 — a gift in your will — is a simple and convenient way to create your own legacy at the Alamo Colleges. Your 遗产 can be a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. Your 遗产 may be given for general use or you can designate a specific purpose. Endowments live forever because only a portion of the fund’s earnings are available for spending annually. |
遗赠的种类
Specific 遗产s are used to make a gift of a specific dollar amount or specific asset (such as securities, 房地产, 或个人财产).
Residuary 遗产s are used to give all or a portion of the remainder of your estate after payment of expenses and any specific amounts designated to other beneficiaries.
不受限制的最有影响力的遗赠是不受限制的, allowing the funds to be used wherever the Alamo College’s need is greatest and enhancing the College’s ability to continue its mission. |
限制You may designate your 遗产 gift to support a specific program or purpose that reflects your interests (ex. 特定项目或奖学金). If your request is restricted to a specific purpose, it is important that the following wording be added at the end of the provision. This will ensure that in the remote possibility, a specified purpose may cease to need funds in the future, an alternate use for the 遗产 may be determined. |
If changed circumstances should at some future time make it impossible or impractical to carry out exactly the above purpose in the above manner, then the Alamo Colleges District may change the purpose and manner as near as is practical to the original intent.
Including the 十大网赌正规网址官网基金会 in Your Will
Because a will is an important legal document, you should seek an attorney’s help. To assist you with this important process, we offer suggested wording below.
We know that each individual situation is unique. Therefore, these examples include only some of the possible gift opportunities. We encourage you to discuss your intentions with us at the Alamo Colleges to ensure that your wishes will be properly followed and recognized.

受益人指定礼物Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using:
It is very simple to name the 十大网赌正规网址官网基金会 as a beneficiary. Start by requesting a change-of-beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download the form from your provider's website. Make your desired changes and return the form to establish your gift. You can also designate whether a beneficiary will receive the full remainder of your account or a partial amount. It is also important to inform the Foundation of your gift so we can ensure the funds will support the campus area of your choice after your lifetime. |
申请奖学金Creating a scholarship is the best way to support students in a variety of programs for years to come. This option is truly a gift that keeps giving. There are two options of forming a scholarship. One is through an endowed scholarship and the other is through a non-endowed scholarship. An Endowed Scholarship comes from funds that are donated and then invested in a portfolio. From there scholarships are then awarded to individual students each academic year. 非捐赠奖学金不是永久性的. The funds are distributed to students throughout the year until funds have been dissolved. |
