Advancing Olivet — OU Annual Campaign
As Olivet University prepares to celebrate its 20th Anniversary, we continue to prioritize initiatives and programs to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to bring the Gospel to every corner of the world.
Over 90% of OU's Alumni donated to the 2022 Annual campaign. Because of their generous support, Olivet University can continue to provide Christian education to students from all walks of life. The contributions enable us to offer scholarships and financial aid to students who would otherwise be unable to afford the cost of tuition, allowing them to serve in ministry and mission work.
By supporting Olivet University, you are investing in the future of ministers, funding student programs and initiatives, including mission trips, community outreach, and researching innovative ways to share the message of Christ. Your generosity will have a profound impact on the lives of our students and advancing our school's mission.

Advancing Student Opportunities
Financial aid at Olivet University begins with the commitment of the affiliated ministries to quality education. Gifts from the affiliated ministries and faithful individuals provide major funding for the financial assistance. The University financial aid serves as a tool to meet enrollment goals and attract students who would contribute to His Kingdom and the diverse student population. The goal of the financial aid is to remove financial barriers to attendance in order to maintain access for qualified students.
