Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D-Part X - FIN 48 Footnote The University's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to the University, including any related interest and penalities, when it is more likely than not the position taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such positions as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and, accordingly, no liability has been accrued.
Schedule D-Part V, line 4 - Uses of Endowment Funds The University's endowment consists of approximately 900 separate funds established over many years for scholarships, professorships, lectureships, academic programs and awards, building maintenance, and general institutional support. The overall financial objective of the endowment is to preserve and enhance the real (inflation-adjusted) purchasing power of the fund in perpetuity. The Board of Trustees designates only a portion of the University's cumulative investment return for support of current operations; the remainder is retained to support operations of future years and to offset potential market declines. The amount computed under the endowment spending policy of the investment pool is used to support current operations. The University expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment to maintain its purchasing power by growing at a rate equal to or greater than planned payouts. Additional real growth will be provided through new gifts and any excess investment returns.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 - Collections of Art and Historical Treasures The University has a collection of decorative and fine art materials that is both extensive and diverse. Comprised of over 2,600 objects, many pieces are displayed throughout campus, while others are preserved. The objects have been generously donated to Furman and the objects connect the University to the wider world and are gateways to studying many different time periods, cultures, and disciplines. The collection's main purposes are to preserve the objects for future generations, educational opportunities, and exhibits.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 - Monitoring the use of Grant Funds Furman provides scholarships and financial aid to individuals in the United States to attend the university. The scholarships and aid for such students are awarded based on need and merit and cover the costs of tuition, room and board. The scholarship and/or financial aid is awarded based on institutional policy and standards set forth by the US Department of Education and the State of South Carolina. The University's Financial Aid Department monitors the compliance with such regulations. The scholarship and/or financial aid is applied by the Financial Aid Department directly against the student's account with the University as a reduction in fees. As a result, the grant can only be used for its intended purpose (i.e. cost of attendance) and can not be diverted from this use. Other types of grants provided consist of research, internship or fellowship grants to students. Such grants are given and monitored by the academic department giving the grant or the Undergraduate Research and Internship Department.
