School of Natural and Applied Sciences

The School of Natural and Applied Sciences equips students to explore the intricacies of God’s creation through rigorous scientific study, ethical stewardship, and practical innovation. By offering programs in biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science and aviation, the school prepares students to solve real-world problems and innovate with integrity.

During Give:24, we’re championing Jessup’s Aviation Department by supporting the George W. Towers Memorial Endowment for Aviation to help acquire a used Cessna 172 for student flight training. Jessup already raised $151,000 toward this goal and is seeking an additional $80,000 to cover aircraft paint and establish a reserve for scheduled maintenance, ensuring the aircraft can be purchased and operated responsibly.

As Northern California’s only FAA Part-141 certified Christian flight school, Jessup trains ethical pilots for commercial, military, and missionary service. Supporting this project removes financial barriers to flight training, empowering students to earn their licenses with skill, integrity, and faith.

Featured Scholarship:

• The George W. Towers Memorial Endowment for Aviation supports students in the aviation program, particularly those aiming to obtain their pilot's license.
