DOUBLE your gift to help IWU students from your church!
At Indiana Wesleyan University, we are committed to aiding church communities and their mission to nurture members. That's why Indiana Wesleyan University will match gifts made through your church. We want to help you as you help your students earn an IWU degree and redefine greatness.
Your donation to a Church Matching Scholarship (CMS) fund has the potential to be DOUBLED (up to $1,500 per IWU-Marion undergraduate student).
When you create a CMS account, individuals and businesses from your church can contribute to the account, which means you don’t have to touch your congregation’s budget to take advantage of this matching scholarship opportunity!
Support Your Church's IWU Students
Selected respresentatives of a church (pastor, treasurer, scholarship committee member, or secretary) may fill out an online application if your church does not have a Church Matching Scholarship account set up already. Church members can contribute to an existing CMS account - not directly to a student - and your financial support for IWU-Marion undergraduates will be DOUBLED by IWU's matching contribution!
