President's Scholarship Fund

Gifts to the President's Scholarship fund support the core of St. John's Mission as a University - educate those who lack the resources to afford an education on their own. A St. John's education can have a great impact on the lives of our students, and on the world.

St. John's University employees who make a gift to the President's Scholarship, will receive a special acknowledgement at the President's Dinner to thank them for their generosity.

St. John’s University will hold its 26th Annual President’s Dinner on Monday, October 30, at the New York Hilton Midtown. St. John’s President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P., will host the University’s premier fundraising event of the year, which begins with a reception at 6 p.m.

The annual President’s Dinner has brought together generations of alumni, as well as University benefactors, faculty, administrators, staff, members of the Board of Trustees and Board of Governors, and other members of the extended St. John’s family—and most importantly, students—to raise funds for scholarships, especially for those students most in need. Over the last 25 years, the President’s Dinner has raised more than $51 million in scholarship support.
