The Dragon Scholarship Fund offers several ways to support Johnston High School students through meaningful and lasting scholarship opportunities. Whether you are interested in creating an endowed scholarship or establishing a named scholarship, both will make a direct and personal impact on students as they pursue their future goals.
An endowed scholarship is a meaningful way to create a lasting impact for Johnston High School students. By making a one-time gift, you establish a fund that provides scholarship support year after year.
Your gift is invested, and the earnings are used to award scholarships—allowing your generosity to support students for generations to come.
A permanently endowed scholarship is designed to provide an annual award in perpetuity. The principal gift remains intact, while investment earnings fund the scholarship each year.
Endowment levels are based on a *4% annual distribution rate:
This structure ensures your scholarship continues to support students indefinitely.
*The annual distribution rate is determined and approved by the Dragon Scholarship Fund Board.
A temporary endowment allows you to support students over a defined period of time.
This can be structured in one of two ways:
If you are interested in creating an endowed scholarship, we would love to work with you to design a fund that reflects your goals and creates a lasting impact.
Because each endowment is unique, we handle these requests personally to ensure everything is set up according to your wishes.

A named scholarship is a one-time or annually renewed gift that provides immediate support to students.
