Things Made Possible

Scholarships

Each year more than 120 departmental scholarships are awarded to Bethel students by faculty and a financial aid committee. These types of scholarships, funded by Bethel’s endowment, make a Christ-centered education possible for hundreds of students.

Read in Focus (Winter 2009) how students and donors are connected through scholarships.

Student Commons

The Taking the Next Step fundraising initiative—the largest in Bethel’s history—brought in generous gifts and pledges for major new facilities, including a student commons building on the Arden Hills campus.

The 110,000-square-foot facility will create a “family room” for the Bethel community and is scheduled to be completed in March 2009.

Bethel Seminary in San Diego Expansion

The planned project will enlarge the seminary’s space by 70 percent and triple the size of its current chapel/auditorium—a crucial asset in the effective outreach work Bethel Seminary is doing in the San Diego community.

This project was also made possible through donations given during the Taking the Next Step campaign.
