Brashiers Boost NGU’s Ministry Scholarships
A $3 million donation to North Greenville University from Dr. T. Walter “Walt” and Christine Brashier will provide scholarships for aspiring church leaders and family members of those currently in ministry.
Te Brashiers’ gift, announced in Spring 2019, will be divided between two scholarship funds offered at NGU: the T. Walter Brashier and Family Scholarship Fund and the T. Walter Brashier Family Christian Ministry Graduate Scholarship Fund.
Established in 1998, the T. Walter Brashier and Family Scholarship Fund was originally available only for undergraduate students pursuing church-related ministries. Recently, however, the scholarship has been amended to include assistance for dependents of pastors, ministers, and other church-based staff. According to the scholarship guidelines, prefer- ence is given to students from Upstate South Carolina, in particular.
Te T. Walter Brashier Family Christian Ministry Graduate Scholarship Fund, on the other hand, is a new endowment intended to provide financial support for graduate-level students who are studying in NGU’s Graduate School of Christian Ministry. Te school features Master of Arts in Christian Ministry, Master of Divinity, and Doctor of Ministry degree programs, which prepare students to lead in a variety of ministry settings.
“Dr. Brashier is one of the most strategic business leaders I’ve ever known, and his strategic passion for helping students pursue a Christ-centered education is inspiring,” says NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. “He continues to generate a lasting legacy at this university.”
In fact, the Brashiers have been longtime supporters of NGU. Teir

first commitment was a downtown office building in the 1970s. Since that time, they have started undergraduate and graduate scholarships at NGU; supported several capital projects; served on several university committees, boards, and councils; and even provided the lead gift to start the T. Walter Brashier Graduate School.
In 2016, the Brashiers went on to lead the university in the launch of what is now the Tim Brashier Campus at Greer, which houses NGU’s adult, online, and graduate programs, including the new physician assis- tant (PA) medicine program.
Te ministry scholarships created by the Brashier family’s latest gift will be available to assist students who are entering NGU as early as the Fall 2019 semester.
