Endowment Opportunities
Establishing a named scholarship at Jarvis Christian University is a meaningful way to create a lasting legacy while directly supporting our students in pursuit of academic excellence and purpose-driven lives. Named scholarships may be created through endowed or annual gifts and can be customized to reflect the donor’s values, honor a loved one, or celebrate a personal connection to the university.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowed scholarship is a permanent fund in which the principal remains intact, and only the investment income is used to award scholarships. Endowments ensure long-term financial support for JCU students and may be established with a minimum gift of $5,000, which can be funded over a period of up to five years.
Annual Scholarships
Annual scholarships may be established with a minimum gift of $1,000 per year for a commitment of at least three years. These scholarships are awarded in full each year based on the donor’s specified criteria.
Class Reunion Gifts
Class reunion gifts are a powerful way for alumni to honor their time at Jarvis Christian University while investing in its future. By designating your reunion gift to the university’s endowment, you help ensure that generations of students will have access to scholarships, academic programs, and campus experiences rooted in excellence, faith, and service.
