These scholarships can support students who are active in ministry, seeking to make a social change, who are unveiling scientific breakthroughs, or creating a new business model that will positively disrupt broken systems.

Matching Gifts
Do You Match?
You can double the impact of your generosity by participating in the matching gift program. Many companies encourage philanthropy by matching their employees’ gifts to universities such as Jessup University. Most match the gift dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount. Participating companies may also recognize donations made by retirees and/or spouses of employees.
Generally, a matching gift will go toward the same program as your donation unless your company’s policy requires otherwise. The matched funds sent to Jessup will count toward your total giving and may qualify you for membership in an upper-level Jessup Giving Club.
How does it work?
Most companies require the employee to complete a Matching Gift Form (available from your HR department). A few companies allow employees to phone in a matching gift request or submit it online. If your company requires a form, complete your portion and send it to Jessup and we’ll do the rest on your behalf. For more information, please call (916) 577-1800.
Will my company match my gift?
To find out if your company has a matching gift program, please inquire with your company’s human resources department, or contact Jessup Universities Development department by calling (916) 577-1800.
Stewardship
An Investment in Jessup is a Gift of Significance for the Lord’s Kingdom
What we Believe and Our Commitment to You
Whether you’ve invested in Jessup or considering a partnership we want to share with you what we believe about biblical Stewardship. We believe Biblical Stewardship begins with the knowledge that God owns it all and we are stewards of His resources. The use of money unveils what the heart worships and treasures most.
Jessup Development Role
Gifts of Grace are in response to the intellectual and experiential knowledge that God first loved us and initiated grace and we extend grace and love to others through generous actions. An investment in Jessup is a gift of eternal significance for the Lord’s kingdom work through our efforts as a Christ-centered higher education.
Gifts of Grace
In the discipleship and development process we find that asking for God’s people to share God’s resources for God’s Kingdom work at Jessup brings about life and joy. Because of this we ask you to partake in the partnership of the Jessup mission through your cheerful gifts. As we challenge one another in cheerful and compassionate generosity our goal in asking is to produce joy, maintain a mind focused on the eternal, encourage an increased dependence on God for our needs and release the temptations this world brings through riches to enjoy true riches in Christ.
University Endowment
The University Endowment is an accumulation of gifts from generous partners that is invested according to Jessup’s investment policy. Earnings from the endowment are split to re-invest into the corpus to gain higher yields in the future and the other is given to support the vision and mission of the university.
How Endowments Transform Lives
Every gift and investment made into the Jessup Endowment directly impacts the accessibility and affordability of a quality Christ-centered higher education. Each dollar given alleviates a student’s future graduate debt-load. Students who receive endowment scholarships will graduate with less debt and become more nimble in the hands of God as they are sent into communities to transform lives for His glory.
The Endowment Process
- The Gift – Endowments begin at $25,000 or five percent of which will be invested into the University Scholarship Fund for immediate student support. The remaining 95 percent will be invested per Board policies.
- The Investment Return – Interest gained from the endowment helps increase the corpus to reach and impact more students over the life of the fund. Jessup partners with RW Baird & Co. to manage the investment portfolio.
- Reinvested Payout – The reinvested payout is the unspent fund payout that is returned to the endowment for the purposes of growth and future impact. The long-term goal is to provide a reasonable, predictable, stable and sustainable level of income to support student affordability.
- Perpetuity – To strengthen the fund and uphold the sustainability of the Jessup mission, the investment committee reviews each endowment for maximum impact for the life of the university.
Christ-Centered Sustainability
Jessup University is unequivocally Christ-centered. A thriving endowment allows Jessup to stand tall amidst poor economic conditions and threats upon our biblical values for which we stand.
