As Bob Jones University celebrates its Centennial, we are investing in the foundation that will support generations of students to come.
BJU Investment:
Centennial Fund Goal:
Your Opportunity:
Double the Impact of the University's Commitment
Why the Centennial Fund?
A Century Ago, Others Invested in Us.
Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. founded this institution to “build a bridge to span the tide.”
That bridge remains essential today.
As we celebrate God’s faithfulness through our first century, we are also preparing for the students, families, and ministries God will bring to BJU during the next century.
Through the BJU Forward Strategic Plan, two immediate needs emerged as foundational investments that cannot wait.
The Need
Two Critical Foundations. One Centennial Opportunity.
Project 1
Modern Student Information System
Today’s students expect seamless digital experiences. A modern Student Information System serves every student from application to graduation, connecting admissions, registration, financial services, academic records, communication, and student success tools. Our current platform faithfully served BJU for many years, but it can no longer provide the integrated, mobile-first experience today’s students need.
Your gift will help provide:
- Mobile-friendly student services
- Improved communication and engagement
- Better support for resident, online, and dual-enrollment students
- More efficient administration and student care
- A technology foundation for future innovation
EVERY BJU STUDENT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS SYSTEM
Project 2
Renewing Essential Campus Infrastructure
Many of the utility systems beneath BJU’s campus date back to the University’s move to Greenville in 1947. These unseen systems provide power, water, sewer, steam, and cooling to every classroom, residence hall, and campus facility.
After decades of faithful service, major components are reaching the end of their useful life.
After decades of faithful service, major components are reaching the end of their useful life.
Your gift will help provide:
- Reliable campus utilities
- Reduced risk of disruptive outages
- Lower long-term operating costs
- Modern electrical distribution systems
- Infrastructure ready for future campus renewal
Every building and every student depends on these systems every day
Why Now?
The cost of waiting is greater than the cost of acting.
The University has conducted extensive planning and assessment through the BJU Forward strategic plan.
The conclusion is clear:
- These systems are foundational to every aspect of campus life.
- Delaying replacement increases costs and risks.
- Early investment creates significant long-term savings.
- Modern systems prepare BJU for future growth and ministry impact.
Partnership
Together, Investing in the Next Century
When you give, you join the University's own significant investment in these strategic priorities.
Those who invested in BJU’s early years could not have imagined the impact their generosity would have a century later. Your support today helps prepare the University for the opportunities God has ahead.
