Annual Grant is a financial gift offered primarily in support of education or for the purposes specified by the donor/s, such as prize grants and faculty grants.

A “named” Annual Grant may be a single gift or a series of gifts for a pledge and is expended in the year given.

An Annual Grant is terminated when the principal gift is depleted and with the expressed wish of the donor/s to discontinue the commitment.
