Give
A student’s experience starts with you and your financial support of the university. Gifts that make every student's journey possible.
Whether you are a graduate, parent, current student, faculty/staff or friend of Lenoir-Rhyne University, you know it is a place that is making a difference in the lives of our students and the community every day.
Your financial support makes it possible for the university to offer a one-of-a-kind learning experience for students and opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.
Your support provides the flexibility for LR to respond to changing circumstances and to take advantage of new opportunities. It helps to bridge the gap between the actual cost of educating a student and the comprehensive fee.
No matter the size, every gift truly counts.
Ways to Give
We are eager and available to help you decide the best ways to make your investment in the future of the university and all LR students.
We accept a variety of tax-deductible gifts from a one-time or recurring gift, endowed scholarship, planned and estate giving, gifts of stocks or securities or honoring a loved one's memory.

I fell in love with this place, and the scholarship influenced my decision to come to LR. The smaller class sizes and the fact that it’s a Lutheran school were important factors.
