Scholarship Challenge

Hope Transforms

Expanding Access, Doubling Your Impact

At Belmont, we believe no student should be denied the opportunity of a transformative education because of financial barriers. Through the Hope Transforms Scholarship Challenge, every new endowed scholarship of $100,000 or more will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Belmont — doubling the impact of your generosity. 

How It Works

  • A donor establishes an endowed scholarship fund of $100,000+
  • Once fully funded, the endowment provides annual scholarship support
  • Belmont matches the amount, effectively doubling the scholarship award for students
