Equip students to influence through academic excellence

YOU are key to more students accessing vibrant Christ-centered learning at GU. With a gift today, you fuel learning experiences that build skills and cultivate character traits that employers value. You prepare even more students to be the salt and light of the Gospel across all industries throughout the world.

 

OPEN MORE DOORS

We are committed to Christ-centered learning in all its forms, building students' skills and character, and helping them grow spiritually. RISE UP helps passionate students with diverse backgrounds and experiences make GU a reality through increased financial aid and scholarships.

  • Create opportunities for more students to integrate their faith with academic disciplines and serve in these fields. 
  • Partner with businesses to provide unique learning experiences and internships.
  • Provide faculty with advanced training and instruction through our Center for Teaching and Learning.
