You may instruct in your will that Rose-Hulman receives a bequest of cash or other valuable assets. A bequest may provide for a specific dollar gift, a percentage of your estate, or specific asset(s) to be given to Rose-Hulman in support of its various programs and endeavors.  A bequest may also be in the form of a gift of the remaining assets of one's estate.   If you opt for a residual bequest, Rose-Hulman receives whatever remains only after all debts, taxes, expenses, and other bequests are paid. Or you may choose a contingent bequest, whereby Rose-Hulman becomes a beneficiary only if a primary beneficiary does not survive you or another condition is not met. Bequests, like other gifts, can be designated for many purposes or given without restriction. Any of these bequests can memorialize a family member or honor a colleague and can provide scholarships or fund other areas of interest.
