Scholarships Change Lives

The Butler Fund for Student Scholarship is Butler’s top funding priority and area of greatest need for a reason–because our students are our top priority. Scholarships are crucial to fulfilling our strategic vision of expanding access to a Butler education. We annually invest 31% of our operating budget into competitive financial aid packages that put a Butler education within reach of promising students because we are convinced that Bulldogs are a worthy investment.

We need your help to make this robust financial aid program sustainable. Studies continue to show the significant, long-term economic and personal benefit for those who pursue education beyond high school. When you support student scholarships, you are truly changing the trajectory of a student’s life forever. And, because our mission is to prepare our graduates to make a meaningful impact in the world, you can feel confident that your gift will also have a long-term ripple effect as today’s students become tomorrow’s graduates.
