[Milt Stewart:] We didn't have a concept of
how much we would get back from what we give,

00:00:05.626 --> 00:00:08.236 align:middle
and we get back a lot more than we give.

00:00:08.836 --> 00:00:12.856 align:middle
These letters that come from Stewart
Fellows, we sit together with --

00:00:12.886 --> 00:00:17.366 align:middle
usually with tears rolling down our
eyes, and read about the evolving lives

00:00:17.366 --> 00:00:21.316 align:middle
of these professionals who are
forever changed by this experience.

00:00:21.896 --> 00:00:26.306 align:middle
The Stewart Fellowship Program at
the Maurer School of Law is a program

00:00:26.306 --> 00:00:28.696 align:middle
that picks 15 to 20 students a year.

00:00:28.896 --> 00:00:33.226 align:middle
We send them abroad in eight
countries to work as lawyers.

00:00:33.376 --> 00:00:38.876 align:middle
These young people, many of whom grew up
in Indiana or other Midwestern cities --

00:00:38.946 --> 00:00:40.476 align:middle
[Judi Stewart:] -- have never
been out of the country.

00:00:40.666 --> 00:00:41.766 align:middle
[Milt Stewart:] Never owned a passport.

00:00:41.766 --> 00:00:46.476 align:middle
We got an email two weeks ago from
a young lady from, I think, Paoli,

00:00:46.476 --> 00:00:50.746 align:middle
Indiana, who is now working at the UN.

00:00:50.746 --> 00:00:52.936 align:middle
The world is opened up to these kids.

00:00:52.936 --> 00:00:58.786 align:middle
They become citizens of the world,
and they learn, not only culturally,

00:00:58.786 --> 00:01:01.036 align:middle
but in terms of their competency
and professionalism.

00:01:01.576 --> 00:01:05.376 align:middle
They can be anything they want to
be, anywhere they want to be it.

00:01:05.376 --> 00:01:09.526 align:middle
And so it's been just an
extraordinary experience for us.

00:01:09.716 --> 00:01:13.406 align:middle
[Judi Stewart:] Plus, they've been
wonderful ambassadors for Indiana University.

00:01:13.966 --> 00:01:17.326 align:middle
[Milt Stewart:] I am a great
fan of win-win solutions.

00:01:18.166 --> 00:01:20.416 align:middle
We have a house in Arizona
that's a vacation home.

00:01:22.196 --> 00:01:28.116 align:middle
We can donate that to the foundation, credit
that donation against our pledges for gifts,

00:01:29.836 --> 00:01:37.046 align:middle
receive a tax deduction of over a quarter of
a million dollars that can be carried forward

00:01:37.046 --> 00:01:39.546 align:middle
for six years and can be applied against the tax

00:01:39.616 --> 00:01:42.106 align:middle
that would have been paid on
the minimum distributions.

00:01:42.606 --> 00:01:43.586 align:middle
[Judi Stewart:] And keep our house.

00:01:43.586 --> 00:01:44.856 align:middle
[Milt Stewart:] We still live in our house,

00:01:45.346 --> 00:01:48.716 align:middle
and I think very few people
know of that sort of an option.

00:01:49.616 --> 00:01:57.046 align:middle
We get an email every week from one of these
students telling us how their life has changed.

00:01:57.156 --> 00:02:05.256 align:middle
If you care and want to help make change, and
particularly change the lives of the students,

00:02:05.256 --> 00:02:06.976 align:middle
the foundation will find a way with you.
