About 30 percent of the endowment pool goes to scholarship funds, and about 25 percent goes to endowed faculty chairs, Malpass said. Hesburgh said those funds are crucial for the University's development. "We're at a point today, which very few schools are, where we can pick the very best class of 1,800 people out of over 14,000 applicants without even looking at their financial needs," he said. The University also needs funds available to compete for top faculty from around the world, he said.
