Scholarships

By giving a scholarship gift, you gain the satisfaction that comes with helping others to achieve their potential. 

Need-based and merit scholarships are critical to achieving our mission of providing a high quality education at an affordable cost. There are many ways to support students, and you can give to scholarships at any level. 

Make an immediate impact by:

  • Giving to the university's General Scholarship Fund.
  • Providing opportunities for students with financial need by supporting our Community Scholarship Program.
  • Establishing a scholarship in your name or in honor of someone important to you for a minimum gift of $2,000 a year. Call or email Jennifer Farner to discuss your named scholarship gift.
  • Helping students gain valuable skills and knowledge through a study abroad experience.
