What they are saying about Dolphin Dash...
John Miller - Trustee 2022
“The evolution, growth and results of Dolphin Dash, especially over the last two years, have been incredible, JU has inspired university supporters, alumni, students, parents, faculty and trustees to get involved in this unique program. The short and long-term benefits of this type of engagement and support will add so much value to the JU experience for everyone.”
Dr. Halle Schaf - Scholarship recipient 2022
“ I’m still so overwhelmed with excitement about the scholarship, I was in total shock when I heard my name as the recipient of the $10,000 scholarship. I decided to support Dolphin Dash to show my pride for Jacksonville University, especially by donating to the Orthodontic program I am currently attending. I did not expect to receive anything in return for participating in Dolphin Dash.”
Dolphin DashThank you for Dashing for JU!
In the past couple of years,
9 students
were surprised with a
$10,000 scholarship each
because of how inspired the Board of Trustees were in the generous Dolphin community.
For three Jacksonville University students, their participation in the Dolphin Dash annual giving campaign turned into a transformative $10,000 scholarship for each of them.
Thanks to the generosity of the Board of Trustees, three $10,000 scholarships were presented to JU students in the Dolphin Dome. The Dolphin Dash Trustee scholarships were awarded to student leaders in philanthropy who volunteered to serve as a Dolphin Dash Champion, a social media advocate or who supported one of the challenges throughout the week.
Thank you for Dashing for JU!

It was a record breaking week of giving with over 8,000 supporters giving forward more than $4.2 million dollars during Dolphin Dash.
This includes our student leaders in philanthropy who DASHED throughout the week to raise money for their favorite teams, clubs, colleges and programs.
As a way of saying thank you to the students who participated, the Board of Trustees came together to establish three $10,000 scholarships.
The following week, the scholarships recipients were surprised in class, at rehearsal and in practice!
Congratulations and thank you to our Trustees for their unwavering commitment to our students.
