A Christ-centered education from CCU can change a life. Yet, many students lack the financial ability to pay for a degree due to varying circumstances. Colorado Christian University has generous donors, partners, and staff who establish scholarships for students based on merit, need, or other established criteria. We are grateful for the generosity of our scholarship program donors, who help make our students' dreams possible.
An Endowed Scholarship is a donation of at least $25,000 that creates a permanent fund at CCU. The principal is invested, and scholarships are awarded annually from the earnings, based on criteria established by the donor. Designed to last in perpetuity, endowed scholarships aim to grow over time, providing a lasting legacy that supports deserving students year after year and contributes to the long-term financial strength of the University.
A Recurring Scholarship is a donation of at least $10,000 that establishes a scholarship fund distributed annually to students based on donor-defined criteria. Unlike endowed scholarships, recurring scholarships are not invested and are therefore not subject to market fluctuations. These funds are given with the intent of ongoing support, allowing donors to contribute regularly and make an immediate, consistent impact in students’ lives.
The CCU Fund provides vital scholarship aid to students enrolled in the College of Undergraduate Studies (CUS) with financial need who desire and deserve to impact the world with grace and truth. Established in May 2018, the CCU Fund replaced the former Beckman Fund as a way to make a CCU education more accessible and affordable. Your gift is pooled with gifts from thousands of others who want to invest in students and help them achieve their dreams.
The Hope Fund provides vital scholarship aid to adult students enrolled in the College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) who are seeking to advance their careers and improve their lives through a Christ-centered education. Many of these students are single parents, veterans, or working adults balancing school, family, and financial responsibilities. Your gift is pooled with gifts from others to help close the gap and make CCU Online accessible and affordable.
