Buildings and Capital Campaign
Phase II of the Nelson University athletic complex project incorporates upgrades to multiple areas. Baseball and softball improvements include seating, press boxes, and netting. A restroom and concessions area will provide service for outdoor spectators of soccer, baseball, track, and field, softball, and other Nelson University-hosted events. In order to bring Nelson Football games to campus, visitor and home seating and a scoreboard will be installed, and a locker room area will be constructed.
Student Scholarships & Endowments
A gift to student scholarships is a gift that changes lives, and often scholarships are the financial miracles students pray for. They open up doors to spiritual and academic growth and help keep students on the path toward God’s calling on their lives.
Global Missions
How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Nelson University sends students to every nation on earth to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Send support to students leading mission trips around the world and serving in local ministries throughout the Waxahachie and DFW area.
Schools and Colleges
The schools and colleges at Nelson University are at the forefront of providing students with the highest levels of academic rigor through a biblical worldview. Your gift will support the development of academic programs that reflect the highest priorities of the University.
Student Life
Strengthen Nelson University’s students’ opportunities and experiences through a gift to the Student Emergency Fund, Student Congress and Clubs, and Student Alumni Association.
University Athletics
In the heart of a Nelson Lion is more than just winning. The athletic journey at Nelson University provides an environment for student-athletes to pursue spiritual formation, develop into servant-leaders, and showcase athletic excellence. Our men and lady Lions will feel the impact of your gift both on and off the field.
Special Interests
Some giving options are so unique that they deserve a category of their own. Special projects of Nelson University include the Royal Family Kids Camp, Legacy Brick Walk, and the sale of tasty pecans. They’re just another way for the Nelson University family to invest in the University.
Mighty Lions Marching Band
At Nelson University, the Mighty Lions Marching Band is more than music—it will be a source of school spirit, a community-builder, and ministry, uniting students, families, and alumni in a Christ-centered culture. Beyond game day, our students will perform at community events, enhance times of worship, and support youth music programs, while developing leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
