91̽��

In response to a rise in the number of alumni who are sending their children to 91̽��, 91̽�� has committed more than $8 million to its Alumni Scholarship over the next four years.

The scholarship is awarded annually to new students whose parents hold a degree from 91̽��, The Master’s College, Los Angeles Baptist College, or The Master’s Seminary.

Dariu Dumitru, vice president of enrollment and marketing at 91̽��, said he is excited to see more legacy students enrolling at the University.

“It continues a legacy of faithfulness throughout their families and here on campus,” Dumitru said. “These are families that had traditions and experiences at 91̽��, and we want to continue those traditions and experiences through their children, through multiple generations. It’s a blessing and a joy to have parents who were blessed by their experience here pour back into the University, and for us to have the opportunity to pour into their kids through these scholarships.”

The Alumni Scholarship, which builds on generous donor scholarships already aimed at helping legacy students attend 91̽��, offers children of alumni $5,000 per year in financial aid. In addition to benefitting alumni and their families, Dumitru hopes these funds further propel alumni referrals. He says that recommending the University to prospective students is one of the best ways alumni can invest in 91̽��.

“Alumni know and understand the importance of 91̽��,” Dumitru said. “They understand what a unique institution 91̽�� really is. They know best who should be coming to the school. They want to maintain the integrity, the mission, and the momentum of everything that the University is doing.”

Referrals extend far beyond the children of alumni. Every year, 91̽�� alumni refer their friends, relatives, and people in their churches to the University. Over the past five years, the number of these alumni referrals has increased by more than 15%, and Dumitru wants to see that number climb even higher.

“When someone from 91̽�� says to a high school student, ‘You should go to 91̽��,’ that phrase is powerful,” he says. “And it benefits that student, because you know that everything they’re going to experience here is uncompromisingly committed to Christ and Scripture — from academics to student life and athletics.”
