Your Gift at Work

“It’s time we pay back the place that was most important to us: our college. You’d like to leave some kind of legacy, and I think the College would be most people’s choice. You’re providing something for young people that will make their journey through this college and through life a little bit easier. If that's the case, it’s a good investment.”

Already a cofounder of an endowed scholarship fund and one of UC’s most active alumni volunteers, Ros has found another way to give back to Utica College: through planned giving.

By making a planned gift to the College, he is ensuring that future UC students receive the same high quality education to which he attributes his lifetime of success. His gift is not only providing financial assistance to students, it is providing significant financial incentive to him as well.

As Ros has found through a planned giving annuity, the interest he receives on his gift is significantly higher than interest rates offered by banks.
