“We currently know of over 100 students who will not be able to begin classes this fall without major assistance...We are expecting even more students with a similar problem to contact us.”
— Andrea Luxton, Andrews University President (2020)This is the reality at just one SDA university.
In 2019-2020, more than 21,000 students attended thirteen Seventh-day Adventist colleges or universities worldwide (adventisteducation.org, 2020). There are likely thousands of students facing similar challenges every year.
We aim to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When students graduate from SDA colleges/universities, they enter the world better prepared to serve and witness to others.
Sadly, many of these students are in their last year of school and face the possibility of dropping out, due to a financial need.
No one should have to drop out of any SDA college/university
because of a financial need.

About Our Organization
Our Goals
In 2020, we will award $5,000 to one SDA college or university partner. By 2025, we hope to establish $5,000 in annual scholarships at six of the 13 Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities. We endeavor to double that amount to $10,000 in annual scholarships at each of the 13 institutions by 2030.
