The countdown is officially on! SEU Giving Day is taking place March 25 & 26, 2026. This 35-hour campaign is dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of SEU students. Through this event, we aim to unite alumni, donors, and friends to support scholarships, innovative programs, and future-focused initiatives. With your support, we can equip students to pursue their education, answer God’s call on their lives, and make a difference in the world.
Whether you’re a first-time donor or a longtime supporter, Giving Day is an opportunity to come together as a community and fuel the future of SEU. Through donor participation, ambassador engagement, and matching challenges, we aim to fund more than 30 campus-wide initiatives to empower students with the resources they need to thrive.
These initiatives range from student scholarships, experiential opportunities for our Pathways Life House, the Robert & Sandra Graper Early Childhood Center, Care Closet, first-generation student support services, and many more.
A Look Back at SEU Giving Day 2025
Our first-ever 35-hour Giving Day campaign was a tremendous success. In total, 275 donors helped us raise $90,253 to help support our students, academic programs, and campuswide initiatives. Because of the generosity of our community, last year’s Giving Day created real, lasting impact. These results continue to change students’ lives today.
Students Impacted By Your Support
We are inspired by the stories of SEU students like Kyle Milligan, who has exemplified the university’s mission through his faith and dedication to give back to his community. Kyle’s journey highlights the power of scholarship support and the transformative experiences that shape SEU students. Learn more about his journey as we prepare to launch Giving Day 2026.
