Looking Forward, Giving Back
We believe the success of the scholarship initiative depends on fundraising for our permanent endowment dedicated to need-based student scholarships. New endowed funds will support Campbell students in perpetuity, ensuring these individuals will have the opportunity to receive a Campbell education despite challenging financial situations.
Over time, successful investment of endowment funds will increase the resources available to Campbell to provide scholarship support for generations to come. The $30 million scholarship campaign goal will help Campbell keep pace with the growing cost of higher education.
Gifts to the Campbell University endowment are invested, not spent.
Each year a distribution of earnings (around 5 percent) is used to help with select university expenses, including student scholarships, professorships, research opportunities, peer mentor programs, library operations, and much more.

“I tell a lot of people that I’m not supposed to be here as a first generation college student with a single parent. I’ve developed into someone that I didn’t know I could be and I wouldn’t have made it without the support of Campbell University.”
