Annual Giving

Scholarships make it possible for many deserving students to attend Hope and help us avoid burdening students with excessive loan debt. The percentage of Hope graduates with debt, as well as the average student loan debt per graduate, are below the national average. In addition, repayment rates are well above national average. Our goal is to keep improving as we aim to be the best value among leading liberal arts colleges. We will do this, with your help, by providing an unsurpassed educational experience through faithful stewardship and development of resources.

We want Hope graduates to focus their life's calling on today's most important issues, not just on a path influenced by economics alone. In order to become agents of Hope who live faithfully into their vocation, they need to be free to pursue professional interests, go on to graduate school or serve others. Your gift to the Hope Fund helps make this possible.
