Scholarships

A Long Term Investment

Contributions to student scholarships are not just a one-time gift but a long-term investment in individuals and the communities they serve. Scholarships break down financial barriers and pave the way for students to access a quality, Christ-centered education. Your commitment to this cause will leave a lasting legacy, impacting generations of students to come. JBU provides several opportunities to partner together in this investment, including endowed scholarships, the annual fund, or by joining the Founder’s Circle.

JBU Scholarship Fund

Financial aid is almost always a crucial factor in a student’s decision to attend JBU. In fact, over 90% of JBU students receive a form of financial aid, and many of them also work part-time or full-time or manage multiple jobs to help pay for their tuition. However, gaps still remain in spite of grants, outside scholarships, and what families can afford to pay. The JBU Scholarship Fund (JBUSF) helps bridge this gap. Scholarships are critical to student financial aid now more than ever.

Giving back – in any amount – creates incredible opportunities for current students who will soon become future JBU alumni. By giving to the JBUSF, you are not just supporting a fund, but you are also becoming part of a community of JBU alumni and friends who are committed to shaping the future of our students.

Give today or join the Founder's Circle to support the JBUSF.

Endowed Scholarships

Endowed Scholarships are created to provide for current student scholarships and preserve the scholarship for generations to come. 90% of JBU students receive financial aid and scholarships.

Endowments for faculty and chairs allow for a permanent source of funding for the faculty/chair to use to support their teaching. View endowed chairs here.

Gifts made to this fund will support costs associated with retaining high-caliber faculty. Donors who make contributions to support faculty positions often do so because of the ripple effect that person can have through the nature of their work, both in educating students and advancing research in their field. –
