Imagine knowing that your connection to St. omas will serve as a catalyst and motivation for future learners. Many students, every year, bene t from the thoughtfulness and planning of those who have chosen to make St. omas part of their legacy.
There are several ways to plan for the future:
Bequest | Consider leaving a Bequest for St. omas in your Will. You can either determine a set amount, leave a percentage or the remainder of your estate to St. omas University once all other bequests and expenses have been paid.



Securities | You can give publicly-listed securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds to St. omas University through your estate. A donation of securities is a great way to make a signi cant di erence to our students and university. e elimination of the capital gains tax on gi s of securities may create a considerable tax advantage for you.
Beneficiary Designation | You can name St. omas University as a bene ciary of your retirement plan, life insurance or insurance annuity assets.
