Your support of the mission of King University is vital as we move forward into the next season of history. Your gifts are essential in funding the university and supporting students as they pursue their goal of gaining a solid career-focused Christian education.
King Fund for Scholarships and Programs
This is an unrestricted fund that allows you to support the school and address those areas of greatest need. You will be supporting student scholarships, academic programs, and touching all aspects of the university.
The King Fund for Scholarships and Programs or the “King Fund” was formally known as the Annual Fund for Scholarships and Programs. The King Fund consists of unrestricted monies that allow contributors to support the University and address the areas of greatest need. Participants are directly supporting student scholarships and academic programs that touch all aspects of King University. These unrestricted gifts support the mission of King and are vital to growth and sustainability.
Scholarship Assistance
Donors can directly support students’ efforts to pursue their dream of completing a King University degree by supporting the scholarship programs.
Named Endowed Scholarships
Donors can endow a scholarship fund in the name or the names of a loved one or friend by committing to a gift of $25,000 or $5,000 per year for 5 years. This named scholarship fund will support one or more student(s) who meet specific criteria agreed upon by the donor and the University. The endowment will create a perpetual funding source that will benefit students for generations to come.
General Scholarships Fund
Contributors can support the general scholarships fund with any size gift. Donations are combined with other gifts which provide direct financial assistance to students who have demonstrated need. Gifts to the King Fund for Scholarships and Programs are allocated annually for student assistance.
James King Society
Named for the pastor who was the original benefactor of the school, the James King Society honors those who believe in the mission of the University and seek to make long-term provision for the future and see the mission of King University fulfilled.
