Scholarship Support

Demonstrate Our Collective Power to Help Pacific Students!

Scholarship support – it demonstrates the power of Pacific's community to step up and support our students. Alumni, parents, family, and community members all come together to create opportunities for our students so they can dedicate the greatest measure of their efforts to studying without the concern of crippling student debt. Approximately 83.9% of our students receive financial aid with an average aid package of $26,000.

You can help students this fall with a gift in support of scholarships. You may choose to add to a scholarship from a specific school or a university-wide fund. Below is a selection of Powell Match qualified funds. These endowed funds have all either reached the $50,000 threshold for the Powell Match or are very close to being fully funded so your gift to any of these funds will be matched dollar for dollar by the Powell Match. The matching gift was made possible by the generosity of Robert C. and Jeannette Powell, who established the Powell Match.

The Powell Match honors their commitment to encourage members of the Pacific community to build endowments through a matching gift program that is significantly improving students' access to a superior education at Pacific. The program will match new gifts used to establish an endowment or expand an existing one. Funds that either support scholarships or enhance the academic learning experience of our students are eligible for the Match.

It truly does take a community to grant the greatest gift possible to Pacific students – the resources to attend college and make the most of their futures.

PS: Just click on your donation, and you will find a drop-down menu – just make the choice of your fund there. And thanks for making our students' success possible!!
