MAKING HISTORY
The Okokon B. Okon III Fellowship will be the first one of its kind. Your major doesn’t matter. You don’t need a graduate degree. We need you to support this effort. Each year, the fellowship will make awards of up to $15,000 to a student selected through a competitive process.
Our success will ensure that generations of young men and women like Okon – committed to scholarly success and community excellence – can succeed.
The committee is open to assistance and suggestions from anyone who wishes to help the Okokon B. Okon III fellowship become reality.

How does an endowment work?
Expendable gifts are to be spent in their entirety during a specific period of time. They are invested with similar funds and earn interest while remaining highly liquid.
Gifts that create endowment funds are meant to exist in perpetuity, and they are invested for long-term growth. Each year, a portion of the fund's earnings is made available in the form of payout. The payout—usually about 5 percent of the fund's value at the beginning of the fiscal year—is used for the purposes the donor and the university agreed upon when the gift was made. (Please see Stanford's Endowment: The Basics (PDF) and Stanford's Endowment: Understanding Payout (PDF) for more information.)
(More information can be found on the Stanford University Giving website.)
