Support the Centenary mission
Centenary University’s mission is to be a life-long educational resource, here to support learners as they thrive through life.
Who you are matters here. Helping students at any stage of life reach their true potential is our focus. We meet students where they are, care for the whole person, and help them go where they want to go. Since its founding in 1867, Centenary University has made its mark in providing innovative, open, relevant, and practical learning experiences that are responsive to students now and into the future.

Your gifts fund top academic programs, scholarships for deserving students, outstanding athletics, campus improvements, and much more.
