CBU Forward

Since 1871, Christian Brothers University has empowered students through a Lasallian education rooted in faith, community, and service. Today, more than 150 years later, that mission remains urgent and vital.

CBU Forward, our annual fund, provides the flexible resources needed to sustain this mission, supporting scholarships, academics, student life, and campus enhancements. Your gift helps ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead in a rapidly changing world.

At CBU, gifts made to CBU Forward support:

• Scholarships for the 99% of students who rely on financial assistance
• Academic enrichment opportunities like internships, study abroad, research, and career development
• Campus and facility upgrades that preserve our historic grounds while meeting modern demands
• Student wellness programs that support the whole person: mentally, physically, and spiritually
• Athletics and co-curricular opportunities that build leadership, confidence, and lifelong friendships

Your Investment. Their Future.

Just as generations of alumni benefited from the generosity of those who came before them, today’s students depend on you. Your annual gift…regardless of size…makes a difference every single day.

Today’s students depend on you

Your gift to CBU Forward will assure that CBU continues to impact lives and prepare our students for careers and lives informed by the Lasallian values of faith, service, and community. Your investment in CBU today doesn't just impact four years. It changes a lifetime.
