Annual Fund

Tuition covers only a portion of the actual cost of educating a Bethel student. Gifts to the Annual Fund help provide innovative academic programs, student scholarships, spiritual formation opportunities, faculty enrichment, physical improvements, and campus maintenance.
Did you know that more than 90 percent of all students in the College of Arts & Sciences will receive some type of financial aid this year? Bethel University assists families by working to make Bethel as competitive as possible in recruiting the most academically qualified students, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Your gift to the Annual Fund directly impacts the approximately 6,200 students who are enrolled in nearly 100 undergraduate, graduate, and seminary programs through the College of Arts & Sciences, Bethel Seminary, the College of Adult & Professional Studies, and the Graduate School. The Annual Fund enables Bethel to retain and attract outstanding faculty members who are the best within their chosen profession. In addition, your contribution may boost alumni giving rates.

The Annual Fund bridges the difference between tuition and actual operating costs. The application of Annual Fund dollars is unique. These unrestricted gifts are applied immediately to the most urgent institutional priorities. A strong Annual Fund helps create and maintain a stable institutional environment, allowing for the aggressive pursuit of excellence in Christian higher education. Among other needs, the Annual Fund helps to provide:

  • Financial aid
  • Spiritual formation opportunities for current students, faculty, and staff
  • Student services
  • Campus upgrades and maintenance
  • Faculty and staff development
  • Academic programs

From Welcome Week to graduation and beyond, the Annual Fund supports some of the most distinctive and vital aspects of Bethel student life. No form of giving has a more direct impact on the daily lives of students and faculty.
