Believe. Inspire. Transform: Join Gannon's Next Century Campaign

There are exciting things happening at Gannon University; we're on the move, and now is the time to get involved to make a change.

We believe in the possibilities that will come when you join our campaign – the ones that inspire generations of students, faculty and alumni to pursue bold opportunities that transform them and those in their communities across the world.

Throughout Gannon University’s history, we’ve seized opportunities that elevate the promise of a Gannon education and provide transformational experiences for
our students and the communities they serve.

Believe. Inspire. Transform. Gannon’s Next Century encompasses bold, visionary goals that will lead to incredible outcomes in the areas of academic excellence, student experience, campus enhancements, and the Gannon Fund. Ultimately, our centennial campaign will provide the resources we need to continue fully living out our mission of transforming students’ lives through high-quality, affordable academic experiences.

Achieving forward movement in this mission means finding the individuals who themselves believe in and want to inspire and transform our students’ lives and their own. Every contribution – no matter the size or form – drives us ever closer to achieving our goals and makes you a part of inspiring the next generations of students and leaders.

We invite you to embark on our next century of impact by making your gift today.

Matching the Momentum

As part of the Believe. Inspire. Transform. Gannon’s Next Century campaign, we’re launching two scholarship challenge matches that will immediately propel our next century campaign by increasing scholarship support, making a Gannon education more affordable and accessible.

By accepting one of these challenges below, you can double the impact you have on our students in need. We invite you to consider making a gift today to help us transform students' lives. 

Next Century Endowed Scholarship Challenge

Gannon University’s Board of Trustees designated $1 million in funds to be used as a match for endowed scholarship gifts. This challenge will leverage gifts of $25,000 toward endowed scholarships and support additional students every year through merit- and need-based scholarships for students on the Erie and Ruskin campuses.

Inspiration Scholarship Challenge

Robert Barker ’72, Gannon Board of Trustee member and chair of the University Advancement committee, personally gifted a $500,000 match to the Inspiration Scholarship Challenge. This challenge will create an additional $1 million by matching donor contributions of $500 up to $10,000 one-to-one. As an alumni of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, Barker announced that any gift provided by a Delta Sigma Phi brother will be matched on a two-to-one basis.

“Our centennial campaign will provide the resources we need to continue fully living out our mission of transforming students’ lives through high-quality, affordable academic experiences on a growing and vibrant campus landscape. My hope through this campaign is that we can bolster our success-driven academic opportunities that have already equipped generations of Gannon alumni to live a life full of impact and inspire the next generations of students to do the same.”
