• The satisfaction of knowing you have provided for PA College into the future—with no current cost to you
• You retain control and use of your assets during your lifetime—and you may even modify your bequest if your circumstances change
• Gifts to PA College from your estate are exempt from federal estate taxes

A bequest to PA College can be made for a specific amount, for a percentage of your estate, or for all or a portion of what remains after you have provided for your loved ones.

Endowed funds of $25,000 or more may be established by bequest or many purposes, including:
