Centenary University's Annual Scholarship Event 2025

Each year Centenary University spends more than $21M to provide scholarship support and institutional aid to students. The Annual Scholarship Reception helps to raise critical unrestricted scholarships to support students who may not otherwise be able to bridge the gap between tuition and financial aid.

The Gold Dome Award recognizes those who, through extraordinary vision and dedication, advance the mission of Centenary University. This year at our event we are proud to have honored three deserving individuals with a Gold Dome Award.

This year’s program will include presentations of Gold Dome Awards to: 

 • Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, Director of the Master of Arts in Happiness Studies 

 • Mr. John H. Johnson, CU Board of Trustees Chair and owner of John Johnson Automotive Group 

 • Erbach Communications Group

Your generosity enables our best and brightest students to take part in educational programs and opportunities that, without the scholarship support from donors like you, would not be possible. Your generosity opens doors to transformative educational programs and opportunities that would otherwise be beyond reach.
