Giving: Myths vs. Facts
Myth #1:
Since the Seminary provides 100% tuition scholarships to master's level
students, it must have all the money it needs.
FACT
:
While Louisville Seminary is blessed with an endowment, it supports only a
portion of the tuition scholarships for our students. Nearly 37% of
scholarship dollars awarded each year are possible because of gifts from
donors like you. When you give to Louisville Seminary, you are directly
supporting future faith leaders and helping them avoid crippling student
debt in their life of ministry.
Myth #2:
I can only give a small amount, and that won't make a difference.
FACT
:
Last year, 275 donors gave up to $100 or less to the Seminary, resulting in
more than $18,000 raised. Helping to make Louisville Seminary better for
the future is a collaborative effort. Gifts of all sizes make a difference.
Myth #3:
The Seminary doesn't need me —alums and churches support it.
FACT
:
Because we are a specialized institution, we have approximately 2,400
living alums throughout the U.S. and the globe. We are proud that our alums
represent the largest group of donors to the Seminary, but their financial
resources are generally more limited as they are devoted to a life of
service and ministry. Many congregations continue to support the Seminary,
but those numbers and dollars have diminished over the years. We depend on
you to support our students and our mission.
