MBU Joins Missouri Colleges Fund
November 28, 2003
Missouri Baptist University accepted an invitation to join the Missouri Colleges Fund, Inc. Eleven other independent Missouri colleges and universities comprise MCF.
The Missouri Colleges Fund is affiliated with the Foundation for Independent Higher Education which is a national partner in a network of member state and regional associations that represent more than 650 private colleges and universities. The Foundation secures financial resources for its member funds and their students; develops collaborative programs within its network and with other organizations; and together with its members, is a primary voice of independent higher education to the corporate and philanthropic communities.
“We are delighted to be a part of the MCF, and look forward to working with them to help secure funds for student scholarships,” says Keith Ross, Vice President for Institutional Advancement.
Current member schools include: Avila University, Central Methodist College, Culver-Stockton College, Drury University, Evangel University, Fontbonne University, Maryville University, Park University, Southwest Baptist University, Westminster College, and William Woods University.
The Fund’s member schools are degree-granting, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and funded primarily from private sources.
