If you do not have a preferred area, a suggested option is the Lipscomb Opportunity Scholarship Fund. Lipscomb Opportunity Scholarships help students and families who need a little extra financial aid to make their Lipscomb dreams come true. These scholarships not only make Lipscomb more affordable, but they also make Lipscomb more competitive. Click here to make a gift.
Yes! Endowments are a wonderful way to honor someone and leave a permanent legacy. Endowments start at $30,000.00. They generate an impact each year and will continue to support your honoree’s interests in perpetuity—all while making a difference at Lipscomb. Endowments may be made with a one-time gift or gifts over time.
