These funds allow the university to leverage many gifts, so large and small contributions all add up to long-term strength.
Choose from three program scholarship areas of Missions & Ministry, Science & Technology, and Professional to provide endowed financial aid for students pursuing these degrees. Can't decide? The General Endowment Fund provides aid where needed most.
Emmaus also offers the opportunity to memorialize a loved one through an endowed scholarship named in their honor. Please contact us for details and gift minimums to establish a Named Endowment Scholarship.
