Due to a transformer failure that has affected the infrastructure supporting our website, Concordia’s online giving platform has been modified from its original state. Our team is working closely with the appropriate technical partners to restore our platform as quickly as possible. This was not the result of a cybersecurity incident. To make a gift to support CUW and our students, select from the options below and follow the link to our designated, secure, Go Fund Me page. Thank you for your generosity!

What Is a Scholarship Endowment?

A scholarship endowment is a lasting gift that supports Concordia University Wisconsin students year-after-year. Instead of being used all at once, the gift is invested, and a portion of the earnings are used annually for scholarships. Because the principal is preserved and invested, the scholarship can continue helping students far into the future. Funding an endowment serves as a gift given today that continues blessing students, families, the Church, and the world for generations.

Why Scholarship Endowments Matter

For many students, college costs can feel overwhelming. A scholarship provides the encouragement and support needed to move forward in faith. Endowed scholarships help remove financial barriers so students can pursue their calling.

Establishing a Legacy

Scholarships Endowments are named by the donor, which the student recipient sees on their financial aid report. Many CUW donors have funded endowments to:

• Honor the memory of a deceased loved one (i.e. The Jane Smith Memorial Churchwork Scholarship Endowment)

• Invest in family values (i.e. The Smith Family Business Scholarship Endowment)

• Title after a favorite passage of scripture (i.e. The Psalm 23 Nursing Endowment)

Advancing Concordia’s Christ-Centered Mission

Scholarship endowments make a Christ-centered education accessible to students. Through these gifts, donors invest not only in tuition assistance, but in future Christian leaders, professionals, and servants who will live out Concordia's mission in their communities. Endowments also give Concordia greater financial stability and the ability to plan for the future, ensuring our mission and values continue to thrive for generations to come.
