Explanation:

if the scholarship one year from now, the donation amount would be:

present fund amount = (scholarship amount)/(discount rate)

                                   = $11,000/9%

                                   = $ 123455.5556

Therefore, you must donate $ 123455.5556 to endow the scholarship.

if the scholarship start in 10 years from today, the amount is:

scholarship amount in 10 years = (amount of scholarship today)/[(1+9%)^9]

                                                     = $ 123455.5556/(1+9%)^9

                                                     = $ 56842.36731

Therefore, if the endow it now but it makes the first award to a student 10 years from today, then the amount to donate will be $ 56842.36731.
