Investing in King's Future |
|
During King's 157-year history, we could not have accomplished all that we have without the generous support of alumni and friends. By supporting King University, donors directly contribute to the institution's mission of fostering academic excellence within a Christian framework, nurturing future leaders who integrate faith and learning. Gifts enable the university to provide scholarships, enhance facilities, and expand innovative programs that empower students to thrive intellectually, spiritually, and personally.
Philanthropic support also helps sustain King University's commitment to serving its local community and beyond, facilitating opportunities for transformative education and impactful outreach initiatives. Through giving, alumni and friends actively participate in the legacy of King University, shaping its continued growth and ensuring its enduring impact on generations to come.

Opportunities to Support King University
Annual Fund
The average King student receives $20,000 in scholarships, funded largely by the King University annual fund. Each year the annual fund provides support for scholarships, programs, and future projects that impact the lives of our students and the spirit of our community. Give to the annual fund today at www.king.edu/give and make difference in students’ futures.
Chemistry Equipment
In honor of Dr. Simeon Pickard’s 32 years of service and his impending retirement, King would like to encourage donations to the Chemistry department to be used in the purchase of an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrometer that will be utilized by all science programs at King. The American Chemical Society has identified this as the most critical piece of equipment for any Chemistry program and King is without one. Please consider making your donation today at www.king.edu/Pickard.
