CSPday Impact
Last year, donor generosity on CSPday made a real difference in students’ lives. Because of you, more students received financial aid, new resources were added, and academic programs were launched. This year, you have the chance to create even more opportunities for our students to thrive. Join us in making a lasting impact!
Gifts to the Opportunity Fund helped CSP launch Minnesota’s first private 90-credit, 3-year Bachelor’s degree, acquire top-of-the-line classroom technology, and open doors for future Golden Bears to attend CSP. When you give to the Opportunity Fund, you help CSP respond quickly and thoughtfully to students’ most pressing needs. Your continued support ensures CSP can remain true to its mission of preparing students for thoughtful and informed living within the context of the Christian Gospel.
Donor support to Golden Bear Athletics continued to uplift student-athletes so that they can perform to the top of their ability both in the classroom and in competition. Gifts made last CSPday helped to enhance the Athletic Training Lab to support student-athletes with improved nutrition plans and equipment, as well as attract and retain quality coaches and support staff.
Because of donor support to Church Work Scholarships, CSP is expanding its Church Work Guarantee so that all students preparing for full-time church work vocations will pay $0 in tuition starting in Fall 2026. Join us in making it possible for students to pursue God’s call without financial obstacles. When you give to Church Work Scholarships on CSPday, you help prepare the next generation of servants for LCMS congregations and communities.
This CSPday, we’re introducing the Golden Bear Basics Fund, an emergency fund for students facing sudden financial setbacks. Donor support to this valuable resource has already supported students and allowed them to keep moving forward in their academic career. Unpredictable financial emergencies – like a car repair, housing issues, or medical bills – can be a major obstacle for students trying to attend class and grow in their vocation. By donating to this fund on CSPday, you can be the reason a student is able to stay in school and thrive.
