As we all react to COVID-19, the Lipscomb University wants all members of the Bison community to know we are here for you. Just as we celebrate the good moments, we walk together through difficult times.
This page has been created to offer resources to Bisons and provide ways for our alumni and community to engage and help each other during this unprecedented time.
Thank you for being a vital part of the Lipscomb family. It’s our hope that all Bisons will be able to lean on us and each other for support.
Lipscomb Student Tuition Emergency Fund
The impact of the coronavirus has placed a significant financial hardship on many students' families. With loss of family income and unexpected expenses, many students will not be able to afford to complete their Lipscomb degree. We can't let this happen.
We know you have many opportunities to help others right now. Simply put, your gift to the Tuition Emergency Fund will equip students to remain enrolled at Lipscomb and continue to prepare for the lives of faith and leadership that you exemplify. Thank you for considering a gift to support these students today.

COVID-19 has shaken up the schedules and routines of many members of the Lipscomb family. Below are a few tips for staying mentally healthy during this unusual time.
Lipscomb Family Therapy Center (LFTC)
Alumni currently can take advantage of online therapy sessions via video-teleconferencing at no charge. LFTC will re-evaluate the fees the first of each month, and when LFTC does reinstate charging fees, clients will have a two-week notice. Also, alumni receive a reduced sliding scale ($10-$50) when fees do resume. For more info, visit LFTC.
As COVID-19 continues to keep people at home, several Lipscomb University alumni owned businesses are still up and running, and they want to make sure your needs are taken care of.
