Where It's Needed Most

Gifts to the JWU Fund go to work where they’re needed most. They are unrestricted and allow us to say “yes” to upgrades, enhancements, new ideas and urgent needs on the Providence and Charlotte Campuses. Make an immediate impact today.

Scholarships & Financial Aid

Did you know that more than 97% of on-campus JWU students receive a scholarship or financial aid of some kind?

Forever JWU

The Mary & Gertrude Society was established to honor our founders, Gertrude I. Johnson and Mary T. Wales, who in 1914 had the courage and vision to create Johnson & Wales. More than a century later, we are proud to celebrate them by honoring loyal donors who have given to the University for three or more consecutive years.
