 ## Why Give?

Student scholarship support ensures that Dordt remains competitive, helps to maximize value, and is economically feasible for any student who desires to pursue a Christ-centered education.

 

 

 ## Giving Options

### Student Scholarships

Student Scholarships provide financial aid that is unique to each student. Grants that encourage community and participation, scholarships that support academic growth and promise, and awards that recognize diverse financial need. Each gift helps to provide and care for a student’s unique financial situation.

 

### Alumni Scholarships

Each year, Dordt University alumni make a tangible difference in the lives of over 50 students through their support of the Alumni Scholarship Drive. Helping to fund scholarships for freshmen, sophomores, and upperclassmen, alumni play an important role in a student’s decision to attend and continue at Dordt.
