Accessible Christ-centered Excellence in Higher Education
The Million Dollar Match Campaign
Great is Thy Faithfulness. Over Jessup’s 85 years of existence, this beloved hymn is a testament to God’s goodness and provision to our growing University.
As we close out 2024, we are thrilled to announce that God has once again been faithful to Jessup as we exceeded our Million Dollar Match! Because we reached our goal, we will be able to equip MORE students with accessibility to Christian higher education, academic excellence and spiritual development through Jessup Fund scholarships. To those of you who gave over this past year, THANK YOU!
We could not have done this without the generosity of people like you who give selflessly toward the work God is accomplishing at Jessup!
