The President's Council is a Partnership

The Council includes people who are committed to the mission of Harding University: to integrate faith, learning and living.

Commitment is also shown through contributions to the President’s Council Scholarship Fund. We are seeking a multi-year commitment (typically three years) at the levels listed. This can be set up monthly or however is best for you. You would join members across the nation who love Harding and the Christian atmosphere that our students experience.

Your commitment and support enable Harding to continue the legacy set by our past presidents and many others who made Harding their personal ministry.
