Regent University’s Church Matching Grant Program

Regent University is excited to offer the Church Matching Grant Program (Church Match). Regent’s mission is to equip Christian leaders to change the world. We believe that one way to fulfill that mission is to partner with churches and ministries, both local and abroad.

What is Church Match?

Regent University matches your church or ministry’s contribution to your education, dollar-for-dollar, up to $750 per semester. For fall and spring enrollment, this means you may be eligible to receive $1,500 from Regent University in conjunction with your church or ministry’s gift!
