The Jessup Fund is the University's primary means of providing students with the financial support they need to obtain a Christ-centered education. Over 90% of traditional students receive scholarships from this fund, enabling them to obtain an exceptional education that goes hand-in-hand with their faith. Keeping Christ-centered University education affordable is one of our key priorities. Currently, Jessup students graduate with 1/3 less debt than the national average but with your help we are can work to make that number even better!
A gift to the Jessup Fund will equip students to lead in their chosen fields through a Christ-centered, community-focused, and career-ready education.
As an alumna of Jessup, Katie Wilson (Camerer, ‘19 and '21) knows firsthand the impact that the Jessup Fund can have on its students.
"My Jessup Story would not have been possible without the generosity of others. The scholarships that I received provided me with the opportunity to pursue my dream of working in the political sphere. Both on the Federal and State level.
Since graduating with an Undergraduate Degree in Public Policy ('19) and a Masters Degree Business Administration ('21), I have had the privilege of working in the State Legislature for Senators Mike Morrell, Scott Wilk, and Assembly Member Kevin Kiley. I currently serve as the district representative for Placer County Supervisor, Bonnie Gore.
The education I received from Jessup equipped me with strong communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and a clear sense of purpose, enabling me to navigate the political world.
Jessup was not only a part of my professional life but also my personal life as well. In June of 2020, I married Jessup alumnus, Jared Wilson ('20) and we became parents to our first son (Judah) in December of 2023.
Jessup holds a special place in my heart. Without the opportunities that I received while being a student at Jessup, I would not be where I am today. I am grateful for the crucial role Jessup played in the trajectory of my personal and professional life."
