The Beacon Fund

Invest in the Future of Bushnell Students

Every gift to the Beacon Fund is an investment in Bushnell students and their future. Your generosity helps make a Christ-centered education more accessible by providing scholarships and resources that support student success.

Giving is simple and flexible. You may make a one-time gift, fulfill a pledge over time, or become a member of the Torchbearer Society through recurring monthly giving. No matter how you choose to give, your support helps students pursue their calling and achieve their educational goals.

Your Impact

  • More than 98% of Bushnell students receive scholarship assistance
  • Tuition and fees cover only 50% of the total cost of a Bushnell education
  • Your gift provides immediate support for students, programs, and the University’s mission

Make your gift online using the form below or mail your contribution to:

Bushnell University
828 E. 11th Ave.
Eugene, OR 97401

As of December 1st, 2025, 5% of all restricted gifts go to the Beacon Fund for Student Scholarships to help maintain an affordable Bushnell education and to support the systems that make it possible.
