Why Give to SVU
“My beloved younger brothers and sisters, you are among the best the Lord has ever sent to this world. You have the capacity to be smarter and wiser and have more impact on the world than any previous generation.” (“Hope of Israel,” Worldwide Youth Devotional, 2018)
At Southern Virginia University, we exist to help young Latter-day Saints and like-hearted students fully realize their capacity.

Make a meaningful impact.
Southern Virginia University is supported exclusively by student tuition and donations from a community of generous benefactors. We do not receive any financial subsidy from a state, endowment, or church.
