Class Scholarships
As we often hear from our alumni, a Culver experience has the ability to lay the foundation for lifelong relationships and a successful future. It is with this in mind that Culver remains committed to providing access to a Culver education for all deserving students, regardless of financial resources. Through the benevolence of our loyal alumni and friends, the dream of a Culver experience becomes a reality for many students, thanks to generous financial aid and scholarships.
A number of our graduating classes have established scholarships over the years to cover the financial aid that Culver offers to students. This support not only allows our students to benefit from an excellent education but also ensures that the values and ideals that this institution represents will endure. A world of possibility awaits.
