Bethune Cookman University; A Call to Action
Bethune Cookman University is at a momentous time in its rich history. While our challenges are real, they are exceeded by our progress to sustain our university and to elevate it to the next tier of excellence. Our progress, however, will only continue with the support of ALL B-CU stakeholders. I ask for you to support our institution not merely so that we can successfully migrate out of SACSCOC probation, but so that we can go about the work to rezimagine the standard by which B-CU students are prepared for a 21st century economic marketplace.
Supporting Bethune-Cookman University will provide financial support to students, enabling us to reduce the cost of attendance. Over the past three years, 98 percent of full-time freshmen at B-CU required financial aid. In addition, 93 percent of all undergraduate students at B-CU receive some form of financial aid coupled with loans.
BCU Launches $7.5 Million Fundraising Campaign
The goal of the campaign is to raise $7.5 million to strengthen the University endowment and close the financial gap for students by June 30, 2020. Your gifts will support University initiatives through student scholarships, faculty endowments, and capital projects.
Generous support from alumni and friends like you allows us to continue our excellent programs and offer transformative experiences to our students. We are pleased to count you among our friends at B-CU.
