Student Success

Empowering Knights to Thrive in the Classroom and Beyond

For 75 years, Bellarmine has expanded opportunities for students from all walks of life. Today, your support ensures that every Knight has the resources to flourish in mind, body, and spirit. 

Your gift supports scholarships, emergency aid, wellness programs, and essential services like the Rev. John D. Deatrick Knights Pantry and the Knights Closet. These resources bridge the gap for students facing financial hardship, health challenges, or food insecurity, allowing them to focus on their education, leadership development, and lifelong purpose. Simply put, your gift ensures students can thrive while they complete their degree. 

Your gift in action: 
  • Fund scholarships for undergraduate students with financial need or support graduate students to ensure advanced degrees are accessible to more students 
  • Provide emergency funds for students facing unexpected crises  
  • Support health and mental wellness services, ensuring students’ well-being 
  • Offer study abroad opportunities that expand perspectives and aspirations 
As a member of the Bellarmine community, you understand the transformative power of a Bellarmine education. Join us in removing barriers to ensure the next generation of Knights is equipped to live meaningful lives and enjoy rewarding careers.  

Among the specific initiatives you can support are: 
  • Pioneer Scholars Program, a scholarship and mentoring program for first-generation undergraduate students  
  • Study Abroad and International Programs for students to engage in international and intercultural academic experiences  
  • Office of Military and Veterans Services, dedicated to serving those who have and continue to serve us — veterans, active duty, and reserve members of our military forces, along with their dependents
