Ensure Excellence and Affordability

Affordability is a key driver for enrollment growth and is ranked as one of the most significant concerns of prospective students and their parents. The single greatest need for a thriving Taylor is to ensure that it remains financially manageable for mission-aligned students.

We seek transformational investments in excellence and affordability:

  • Reduce student debt through new scholarships and amplified work experiences.
  • Grow our endowment to stay true to our Christian mission.
  • Highlight the value of a Taylor education and demonstrate the difference a Taylor degree will make for future job prospects and lifelong contributions.
  • Renew spaces within existing campus buildings, addressing deferred maintenance issues, and the construction of select facilities that will support Taylor’s growth and development.
  • Launch new initiatives with a focus on ventures that will become revenue-generating.

Taylor Fund

An Ongoing Investment in Taylor’s Tradition of Academic Excellence

The Taylor Fund is an annual giving opportunity that directly supports scholarships and financial aid, making a Taylor education more affordable. Tuition alone doesn’t cover the full cost, so these gifts help ensure that all students, regardless of financial background, can thrive at Taylor.

100% of gifts to the Taylor Fund go directly to supporting student needs, making it one of the most impactful ways to support Taylor’s mission.

Scholarships

Transforming Lives, Shaping Futures

Annual & Endowed Scholarships

Through scholarships, students are equipped not only for successful careers but for lives filled with purpose and impact. Every scholarship represents a profound commitment: nurturing leaders who transform communities, serve globally, and embody Christ’s redemptive love, grace, and truth where the Lord leads them.

There are many ways to fund scholarships beyond writing a check. Appreciated assets, such as stocks, real estate, or a paid-up life insurance policy, are excellent options. Scholarships can also be supported with multi-year gifts or through an estate plan.
