Student Scholarships

The Jessup Fund serves as the University’s primary source of unrestricted giving, providing the flexibility needed to address immediate priorities, strengthen programs, and enhance the overall student experience. By investing in the Jessup Fund, donors directly advance Jessup’s mission and ensure the University can respond strategically to the most pressing needs of our students and campus community.

During Give:24, we are calling on our community to support the Jessup Fund alongside a variety of donor-funded scholarships. While the Jessup Fund meets broad and immediate needs, our named scholarships help ensure Christ-centered higher education remains accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, affirming their callings and providing the stability needed for spiritual and professional growth.

Featured Scholarships:

• The Jessup Fund is an unrestricted fund that supports accessible Christian higher education for all students; advancing academic excellence, spiritual formation, and critical thinking within a personalized, experiential learning community.
• The Benevolence Fund offers practical support such as gas, food, and housing assistance to students facing financial hardship and urgent needs.
• Our Bryce and Jo Jessup Legacy Endowment Fund provides scholarships for those called to church vocational ministry such as a pastor, youth minister, missionary, Christian educator or evangelist, etc. The purpose of this endowment is to ensure the next generation of church leaders are tethered to their calling, not debt.
