Area of Greatest Need

Gifts to scholarships or other areas of immediate need, like the Hope Fund and Anchored Tuition, are critically important for Hope College. Endowment spending is restricted and covers only a small portion of yearly operating expenses. By designating your gift to these areas of greatest need, you empower Hope to bridge the divide between what's covered by endowment spending and what's needed to fund our emerging needs.

With the added flexibility provided by your gift, Hope can quickly address students’ financial needs, unforeseen challenges and new opportunities to strengthen a Christ-centered education rooted in the liberal arts.

The Hope Fund provides more than 95% of our student body with scholarships. And it benefits students in other ways by bolstering financial aid, academics, athletics, the arts and co-curricular activities.

Anchored Tuition holds every single student's tuition in place from the time they enter Hope to the time they leave, saving them an average of $8,000 over the course of their time on campus. Your gift ensures that this initiative remains in place for every Hope student.
