The John Brown University Founder's Circle is a group of dedicated alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of JBU who commit each year to support JBU in three distinct ways:
In 1919, founder John E. Brown launched John Brown University to provide a Christian education to students who could not afford college. Today, the Founder’s commitment continues through the JBU Scholarship Fund, which is 100% dedicated to need-based financial aid and work-study employment for students.
Founder’s Circle members make the majority of this need-based financial aid possible. Without this help, many of our students could not attend JBU.
The JBUSF provides need-based scholarships and work-study jobs to students each year. The current goal for the JBUSF is $825,000.
Approximately 500 students benefit from generous support to the JBUSF each year. An average of $1,750 is awarded per student each year.
This scholarship has really helped me and my family not have to worry as much about how we will pay for my tuition. It has lifted some of the weight off our shoulders. As a first-generation student, coming to college is something is very meaningful to me. I am going to be able to continue my education and be able to give back in the same way that you are helping me. Thank you so much for helping me achieve my dreams and giving me the opportunity to get a higher education.
When I came to JBU, I was concerned because I really did not have a college fund to depend on. I came to JBU with the intention of pursuing a degree and growing in my faith. With your help, I have completed one year so far and I am so thankful for you! God is using you all to bless JBU students in such a marvelous way.
