University Advancement secures funding for scholarships, programs, and endowments to help provide a Christ-centered, transformative experience for Azusa Pacific students. These resources provide modern facilities, exceptional faculty mentorship, and innovative programs. We build these resources by forming strong relationships with donors, alumni, parents, and friends.
