Looking Forward, Giving Back
We believe the success of the scholarship initiative depends on fundraising for our permanent endowment dedicated to need-based student scholarships. New endowed funds will support Campbell students in perpetuity, ensuring these individuals will have the opportunity to receive a Campbell education despite challenging financial situations.
Over time, successful investment of endowment funds will increase the resources available to Campbell to provide scholarship support for generations to come.
Gifts to the Campbell University endowment are invested, not spent.
Each year a distribution of earnings (around 5 percent) is used to help with select university expenses, including student scholarships, professorships, research opportunities, peer mentor programs, library operations, and much more.
“I tell a lot of people that I’m not supposed to be here as a first generation college student with a single parent. I’ve developed into someone that I didn’t know I could be and I wouldn’t have made it without the support of Campbell University.”
