Eckerd College offers a variety of gift options for those who wish to commemorate a particular individual or group.
- Tribute gifts of any amount may be made online at eckerd.edu/giving.
- Establishing a named scholarship or academic program will make the greatest impact on the College’s students and faculty.
- Facilities, rooms and other on-campus spaces may, in some circumstances, be named to recognize a significant gift that made possible construction, renovation or operation.
- Planting a commemorative tree requires a minimum gift of $2,500 to fully fund the purchase, installation and ongoing maintenance of the tree. Commemorative trees must be consistent with the College’s Master Plan. In lieu of tree plaques, tributes in honor or memorium are recognized on the Campus Tributes Map.
- In special situations, the College may choose to install a plaque or other significant marker to recognize extraordinary contributions or achievements.

"This scholarship means more than just financial assistance—it is an investment in my future as an environmental advocate. It has provided me with the opportunity to take what I learn and apply it to real-world conservation projects, helping me become a more effective and knowledgeable leader in ocean preservation.”
