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.


When you become a Centenary University benefactor, you play a critical role in helping us fulfill this mission. Your gifts fund top academic programs, scholarships for deserving students, outstanding athletics, campus improvements, and much more. We invite you to explore options, such as making an immediate impact through an annual gift, creating your own legacy, or through planned or endowment giving. 

Here are some ways to make the biggest impact:

  • The Centenary Fund

    The Centenary Fund provides immediate, flexible resources that make a direct impact on the student experience, including through scholarships and financial assistance. Through their gifts, donors fund bold learning initiatives that create extraordinary opportunities for Centenary University students.
