More than 5,000 alumni, friends, faculty, staff, corporations, estates and trusts, churches and Trustees helped Culver-Stockton College by sharing their wealth. More than 34 million dollars was raised to successfully complete the eight-year, 25 million-dollar comprehensive campaign, Culver-Stockton: Changing Lives! in just six years. That is amazing!

The funds raised will enhance the student experience in so many ways for many years to come as the College prepares students of promise for a dynamic world. On behalf of the Culver-Stockton College Board of Trustees, a big “Go Wildcats” thank you for the support, excitement and caring you brought and shared to make this great campaign a roaring success.

Your immense generosity will continue to enhance the student experience for decades to come.

Many thanks to the National Co-chairs, Scott Johnson ’71, Bob ’71 and Donna Stone, and the entire campaign committee for your commitment to making the Culver-Stockton: Changing Lives! campaign such a tremendous success.

ACADEMICS & ENDOWMENT

Educating for Life and Securing Our Future Total Raised: $11,662,536 Academics are at the heart of our mission. Providing students of promise with the needed education for high-demand fields will enhance the student experience. Culver-Stockton College is committed to offering a challenging and progressive curriculum, rooted in the liberal arts and responsive to market trends and student needs. Our commitment to experiential learning is grounded in the belief that students learn best when they develop knowledge, skills, and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting.

The Endowment of Culver-Stockton College ensures financial funding for today and the future of the College. The best way to advance the student experience is through scholarship endowments. An endowment is a self-sustaining fund providing scholarships for students, many of whom are the first in their family to pursue their academic goals through higher education. A strong endowment allows the College to maintain costs and operational budgets while remaining competitive.

The following endowed scholarships have been established with documented estate gifts: Anonymous (3) The Tony and Trish Crane Endowed Scholarship The Marcus & Phyllis ’61 Parsons Endowed Education Scholarship The William Phillips ’63 Endowed Scholarship The Rev.
