Scholarships

“Becoming a student at Bradley was possible for me because of the Frank Campbell Endowed Scholarship. Becoming a leader in my field was possible because of the innovative program opportunities at Bradley. Now I give back to keep this path open for future students like me”

– Taylor Gawthorp-Cruse ’16

Scholarships Change Lives

By providing financial assistance, you enable talented and dedicated students to pursue their education without the burden of financial constraints. Scholarships open doors to opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible, allowing students to focus on their studies,engage in enriching extracurricular activities, and contribute to our diverse and vibrant campus community. Your generosity not only helps Bradley students achieve their dreams but also strengthens the future of our society by nurturing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals.

Two Ways to Support Student Scholarships

Endow a Named Scholarship:

Through a gift of $50,000 or more, payable over 1 to 5 years, you can endow a named scholarship and feel confident the earnings on your gift will support future Bradley students in perpetuity. You can also consider establishing an endowed scholarship through a bequest, including gifts of property, stock, or life insurance. Once your endowment is fully funded, you will receive annual reports with details regarding the endowment’s earnings, the value of scholarships awarded, and highlights about the students who benefit from your support.

Name an Annual Scholarship:

To make an immediate impact on students, you can commit $10,000 or more to name an annual scholarship by contributing a minimum of $2,500 per year for four consecutive years. For each year your named scholarship is awarded, you will receive an annual scholarship report including information about the impact of your scholarship and the student who received your support.
