Answer:

  $7,358

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the interest is compounded annually, the amortization formula is useful here.

  A = Pr/(1 -(1+r)^-t)

A is the annual scholarship, P is the principal invested at rate r for t years.

  A = $100,000(0.04)/(1 -1.04^-20) = $7,358.18

The university could give $7,358 in scholarships each year.
