Multiply Milligan’s Impact
Students come to Milligan University looking for ways to use their God-given skills for Kingdom-building work. They’ll leave with the tools and resources to do just that. But, for some, the cost of a Milligan education can feel out of reach. That’s why your gift matters. You help us keep college affordable for families of all economic backgrounds, so students are prepared to impact the world for Christ, touching lives and transforming communities.

Areas to Give
Milligan Fund
The Milligan Fund helps make a Milligan education accessible and affordable. Tuition alone does not cover the entire cost of a Milligan education, but thanks to our generous donors, gifts to the Milligan Fund benefit students directly. This enables them to experience the life-changing mission of the university. Milligan relies on the partnership and generosity of more than 2,000 donors who give to the Milligan Fund each year.
Emmanuel Fund
In the U.S. today, faithful, service-minded leaders often follow God’s call on career paths that pay less than others with similar educational requirements. The Emmanuel Fund addresses this issue by subsidizing the costs required to operate the seminary for each student annually. Without this vital support, many of our brightest students would be unable to attend Emmanuel. Your support makes it possible to continue our mission of preparing men and women for effective ministry.
Establish Scholarship Fund
Endowed Scholarships
Endowed scholarships allow donors to provide lasting educational support for deserving Milligan students, with a minimum gift of $25,000. Donations can be made as a single payment or over 3-5 years, but scholarships are typically only awarded once the fund reaches $25,000. The principal is invested, and only a portion of the earned income—usually around 5%—is awarded annually, meaning a $25,000 gift would likely yield an annual award of about $1,250. For more information view the last section of the Catalog below.
Planned Giving
We invite you to partner with Milligan through a planned gift that contributes to our mission of honoring God by educating men and women to be servant-leaders. Planned gifts come in many forms — from your will, stock, IRA, donor-advised fund, and more. Each option is unique, and we want to help you find the one that fits your situation. We can help you navigate many of these gifts directly; for more complex arrangements, we will point you to the right resources. Thank you for your partnership in our mission.

Church Relations
As a Christian liberal arts university dedicated to academic excellence and the education of the Christian leaders of tomorrow, Milligan depends on the annual financial support provided by its partner churches. In addition to financial support, churches partner with Milligan through prayer, encouragement and by assisting in the recruitment of potential students. On our Church Relations page, we have outlined some of the resources available to our partner churches and some additional useful information about the University and its role in developing the ministers, missionaries, and church leaders of tomorrow.
Leaders in Christian Service
Do you know someone who is a shining example of Christian leadership beyond the walls of the church? A doctor, a teacher, an artist, a student, a business professional—whatever they are they advance the cause of Christ and exemplify a stewardship of their life, influence, and resources. Recommend this person as a Leader in Christian Service so that we all may learn from his or her example.
