Wake Forest University School of Divinity

What is the Wake Forest Fund for the School of Divinity?
The Wake Forest Fund for the School of Divinity provides scholarships and tuition concessions to our students, which allows them to focus on their academic passions rather than financial obligations.

Divinity students are bound for a life of service, playing an integral role in shaping the ethics and values of society; a high calling, indeed, but one that does not yield a significant income. Your contribution allows our students to help fulfill the needs of the ministries of tomorrow.

For more information, contact LaShonda Hairston, Assistant Director of Divinity Development at 336-758-5225 or hairstld@wfu.edu.

Wake Forest University has been blessed with generations of leaders who have dreamed our school’s future and whose vision and generosity have built one of the top universities in the country. That tradition continues today through The Wake Forest Fund Giving Societies. The Giving Societies recognize Wake Forest’s most generous and dedicated alumni, parents and friends, all of whom have made significant commitments to support Wake Forest’s students and faculty.

You are invited to accept the mantle of leadership—and the responsibility—to ensure that Wake Forest remains in the forefront of higher education. You are invited to join a Wake Forest Fund Giving Society today.
