Overview
The SEU Endowment provides financial stability that is not impacted by trends of enrollment and provides revenue to support the University's programs, faculty, student scholarships and facility maintenance.Investing in SEU's Endowment ensures generations of students have access to the transformative educational experience for which SEU is known–regardless of the current financial climate, incoming revenue, or enrollment trends. The SEU Endowment is important because it provides long-term financial security and flexibility and establishes financial stability to ensure that we can continue our mission to pursue knowledge, cultivate character and equip each student to discover their divine design to serve their communities for Christ. Named endowed funds can be established with a one-time or multi-year pledge of $20,000+
Student Quote
"My experience at SEU has been nothing short of amazing. Being here has truly been an answered prayer, and the relationships and experiences I’ve gained from this journey are a true gift. The SEU community—from the students to the faculty and staff—is incredible, and it’s what I cherish the most. I’ve been fortunate to connect with many people who have nurtured my life and played a key role in both my personal and professional growth, such as Ms. Eileen, who has given me a home away from home. Though there have been challenges along the way, my overall experience has been nothing short of extraordinary." -- Lidia Gonzalez, Class of 2026
Funds will be used to
Establishing a named endowed fund or giving to the SEU Endowment does more than just support the initial scholarship or program–it creates financial margin that can be reinvested in the operational budget, supporting student resources, scholarships, academic programs, athletic equipment, campus improvements, and more. Each year, a portion of the value of the fund is distributed to the donor’s purpose and the remaining balance stays in the endowment, continuously earning the University investable interest. Thus, the investment lives on in perpetuity, and the investable earnings are allocated toward needs throughout the University. In the end, the overall value of the donation far exceeds its initial dollar amount, and a gift today will support every tomorrow in SEU's future.
