Estate and Planned Gifts

Bill
Throughout the College’s history, trustees, alumni, parents and friends have left a legacy on the Hilltop through estate gifts. These
planned gifts, as they are referred, are deeply meaningful and leave a lasting impact through a gift realized after the donor’s lifetime.
