Your Gift Helps Students
The extraordinary generosity of Friends University alumni and friends over the years has enabled us to maintain an outstanding scholarship program that has benefited generations of Friends University students. Today, recruiting students is highly competitive, particularly for privately funded universities. Your annual gift keeps Friends University in the competition and makes us more affordable for a student who could not otherwise attend.
Your Gift is Flexible
Annual fund gifts are flexible and provide financial support when students and faculty need it most. The learning experience, in and out of the classroom, is at the heart of what we do at Friends University. In addition to making, it more affordable for students to attend college, the annual fund offers financial support for a wide array of student activities, international learning experiences, leadership opportunities, academic support, advising and counseling. All of which are a very important part of a student’s experience at Friends. The annual fund can help the university retain top-notch faculty who are committed to spiritual and personal growth, a robust liberal arts education, applied learning and support the development of new academic programs that drive transformational results. Anything is possible with your gift to the annual fund.
Your Gift Has Power
The Friends University annual fund directly supports the University’s mission to equip students to honor God and serve others by integrating their intellectual, spiritual, and professional lives. To properly educate our students, it is essential that we first fulfill their fundamental educational needs. This includes providing scholarships and financial assistance to make Friends University affordable for all, as well as employing faculty who create a challenging learning environment. Additionally, it is important to offer a safe and engaging student lifestyle to provide a well-rounded Friends experience. We must also invest in resources that support new curriculum, programs, and technology to prepare students for the real world and maintain the upkeep of existing facilities for the long-term benefit of all. The annual fund allows us to make choices rather than compromises.
