Saint Mary's College Endowed FundsSaint Mary's College gratefully recognizes all the donors who have stepped forward to secure Saint Mary's future by endowing funds to support faculty positions, scholarships, the library, and programs that support a richer intellectual life on campus. This support ensures that Saint Mary's College remains true to its mission as a place that takes seriously the education of the whole woman – mind, body, heart, and soul – and as a place that empowers women to make a difference in the world.
