What began in 1901 as a bold vision to educate students for lives of leadership and service has grown into a thriving Christ-centered University that continues to shape generations of students to make a difference in their communities, churches and professions. As we celebrate this milestone 125th anniversary, we do so with grateful hearts, recognizing that every chapter of Trevecca's history has been written through God's faithfulness and the generosity of those who believe in its mission.

This year, we're inviting friends of Trevecca to celebrate this historic anniversary by making a special gift of $125 in honor of our 125th year. Your gift will help provide scholarships, strengthen academic programs, enhance the student experience and equip students to pursue God's calling with confidence.

As we celebrate Trevecca's remarkable legacy, we invite you to help write the next chapter.

The Power of Giving

When Marina Yousef applied to Trevecca, the University's enrollment team worked to secure scholarships that made her education possible.

After graduating from Trevecca in 2020 with a degree in history and public policy, Marina earned her J.D. from Vanderbilt Law School. Alongside her work in corporate and healthcare law, she partners with nonprofits to help immigrants and refugees access legal resources—a cause near to her heart since Marina’s family immigrated from Egypt when she was a child.

In 2025, Marina received the Attorney for Justice Award from the Tennessee Supreme Court in recognition of her pro bono service.

We’re grateful for your continued support of scholarships that help students like Marina discover their calling and become agents of positive change in the world.

How do I start a scholarship?

Is there a need for more scholarship support at Trevecca?

Yes! While a college education—especially in a Christian environment like Trevecca—is a critically important investment, it is an expensive one. Many of Trevecca’s students come from families who have limited resources like pastors, missionaries, and teachers. In fact, nearly 95% of Trevecca’s undergraduate students receive some type of financial aid.

What are the steps to set up a scholarship at Trevecca?

First, you need to decide what type of student you would like to assist. It could be for a student studying in a certain field such as education. Or, you may want to designate the region the student lives, such as the State of Florida. You may want to assist students who have high financial need or combine various designations. It is important to note that the scholarships with fewer designations are easier to award that those with many restrictions.

Second, you need to decide if you want to fund an endowed scholarship or an annual scholarship. An endowed scholarship is one where the scholarship funds are invested and the income from the funds are available to award. A minimum of $20,000 (reached within 3 years) is needed to fund an endowed scholarship. An annual scholarship is one that is awarded, as funds are available. Some donors choose to fund a combination of an endowed and an annual scholarship.

Third, you need to decide what name you would like to give the scholarship fund. It is helpful if the scholarship is for a particular type of student, that it is reflected generally in the name. For example if it is for education majors then “Education” would be included in the name. Many persons want to honor or memorialize a family member or friend. Example: John and Martha Smith Education Scholarship

Others would like to include their own name as part of the name. Example: John Smith Religion Scholarship.

Finally, you will work with a member of the Office of Institutional Advancement to draft written guidelines that clearly spell out the details of the scholarship.

May others who are interested in the scholarship I establish also make gifts?

Yes! Anyone may designate a gift to a specific scholarship fund. This is a common practice when a scholarship is established in honor or in memory of a loved one.

May I designate the student to receive the scholarship?

Because of IRS regulations, the donor cannot choose the student who is to receive the scholarship. The University must make the selection based on the guidelines established by the donor(s).

What gift resources do people use to start a scholarship?

Scholarship gifts may be made in many different ways through many different means including checks, credit cards, securities, real estate, monthly electronic payments, annuities, and even estate plans.

Once I establish of scholarship, will I hear from Trevecca about it?

If you establish an endowed scholarship fund, you will receive an annual statement regarding the earnings (or losses) of the fund. You will also receive information regarding the student(s) who were awarded the scholarship.
