The Stockard Society

Throughout its history, Cottey's excellence in the liberal arts has been sustained by the commitment and vision of generous donors, whose planned gifts have strengthened the College endowments, campus facilities, leadership programs, faculty and academic resources, and student scholarships.

Cottey College is grateful to all those whose thoughtful planning has helped ensure a vibrant future for the College. We honor donors who make provisions for gifts of future support through membership in the Stockard Society, named for Virginia Alice Cottey Stockard, a woman of vision and founder of Cottey College.

You are invited to join the Stockard Society. The Society is open to all who provide future support for Cottey in their estate plans through wills, trusts, life income gifts, retirement plans, life insurance designations, and other vehicles.

News of the College and articles on financial planning will be sent to all members. From time to time, the College may hold special events for Stockard Society members. The College periodically publicizes the names of Stockard Society members, but is happy to honor the wishes of those who want to remain anonymous.
