CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Johnson C. Smith University announced that it has raised more than $300,000 and counting for the Back to Beatties Ford Road Emergency Aid Fund.
The funds will support the JCSU General Scholarship Fund.
The Knight Foundation made a significant donation of $100,000. The Duke Endowment offered a generous gift of $75,000, and a host of alumni, community members, faculty/staff, and friends of the University donated a combined amount of over $125,000 during the Emergency Zoom Call held on August 26, 2024.
The Back to Beatties Ford Road Emergency Aid Campaign was established to help a growing number of Johnson C. Smith University students financially clear at the start of the new year.
This year, Johnson C. Smith University’s enrollment reaches record numbers with nearly 1400 students enrolled, including 611 freshmen in the incoming class, alone.
We applaud the efforts of the Office of Student Affairs & Enrollment Management for meeting an ambitious enrollment goal set by President Valerie Kinloch, Ph.D. ’96 during the Spring 2024 term. We are thankful for a community of faithful donors. We are grateful to a growing number of new donors, as well, who contributed a combined amount of approximately $45,000 to the cause.
