Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I support the Fund for Educational Excellence?
A: A gift to the Fund for Educational Excellence allows Greenville College to provide students with an excellent Christian liberal arts education. Greenville College strives to provide character education by challenging students to confront the moral and social challenges that face our world today. We believe this produces graduates who will become a new generation of moral leaders scattered among various occupations.

Q: What does the Fund for Educational Excellence accomplish?
A: The Fund for Educational Excellence (Annual Fund) helps the college meet annual ongoing operating expenses. While the enrollment at Greenville College continues to increase, the college faces complex financial challenges.

The actual cost of a Greenville education is approximately $2000 more than student tuition. It is the Fund for Educational Excellence that bridges this gap. In addition, the Fund ensures a strong financial future for the college built upon a foundation of consistent support from alumni and friends. A strong foundation of support by alumni and friends also assists in efforts to attract major gifts and grants from individuals and foundations.

Q: What size gift will make a difference?
A: Every gift makes a difference! Many small gifts add up to a substantial contribution and demonstrate a broad base of support for Greenville College. No gift is insignificant!
