The Scholarship

The current endowment is above $380,000. Our goal is to reach $1,000,000 at which point the annuity will be capable of providing full-tuition scholarships for two students each year. All contributions are tax-deductible under IRS Rules.

• Soka University has agreed that donors may make donations over the years to Brian's scholarship and will have a plaque posted in the donors' names when their accrued contributions reach one of the established levels of recognition.
• Contribute directly to the Scholarship Fund here.
