Stories of Scholarships

 


This page is a tribute to the generosity of the individuals whose giving has made, is making, and will make a difference in the lives of our students.
We honor those who are remembered in the creation of the endowed name scholarships on this page; their self-sacrifice has touched family and friends in ways untold, and their memories are upheld by a new generation of students. 
The University is grateful to the donors who support Southwestern Adventist University students by establishing these scholarships. 
If you or someone you know is interested in establishing a named endowed scholarship that will extend the legacy of someone who has made an impact on society, a named endowed scholarship is a wonderful way to give the gift that keeps on giving to support the students at Southwestern Adventist University.
