GCU Scholarship Details
I still have the policy my parents bought me when I was just a toddler. I’m now 68 and I’m doing the same thing for my grandchildren. Maybe they’ll do the same for their grandkids someday.”
-Henry | Branson, MO
Hey, I’m Todd.
At my core, I believe in the value of service. That belief is why I served over twenty-five years in the U.S. Army, both active duty and reserves. It’s also how I earned the privilege of helping people from all walks of life as their financial problem solver.
I’ve been married to my wife Diana for thirty-seven years, have four grown children, and five grandchildren. And frankly, I‘m convinced that it’s never been more important to have your money work for you while also protecting it from unnecessary risk.
Why mention any of this? Because I’ve seen a thing or two.
In the thousands of conversations I’ve had with individuals over the years, they’ve offered me a front-row seat to their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. And, as we discuss one’s twilight years in retirement, the topic almost always comes around to discussing their legacy and how they can pass on their love, wisdom, and help to their children and grandchildren.
When I ask clients, “Do you think your grandchildren and great grandchildren will have it as good as you do?”, the answer, almost without exception, is a resounding no.
That’s exactly why I built and believe in the power of the Gift 4 A Lifetime plan.
Helping your grandchildren is not just about giving them some money and hoping they use it for good. It’s a tool grandparents, guardians, and loved ones can use to make a difference long after they’re gone.

I’m not sure that just giving a young person a bunch of money when they’re 18 is necessarily going to help them. It might make things worse. We liked the idea that this program will work for decades to come, even after we’re gone!”

I’ve been fortunate in my life. Working hard used to be enough to build a nice life but I’m not sure that is enough anymore. My parents bought a life insurance policy for me and I still have it. The G4AL allows me to help my kids in the same way my parents helped me.”
-Ralph | Jackson, MS
Fast forward into the future for just a moment.
You want to offer a lifetime of help and love. Your grandchild is now a parent and you’ve been gone for a long time. Your memory, love, and wisdom still live on as they pause to look at the GCU Life Insurance Policy you purchased for them many years ago. Every time they receive their annual policy statement they think of you!
As a young adult, this policy made them a member of the GCU fraternal family and eligible for the GCU scholarship and debt payment programs. Those opportunities helped fund their education and prepare them for a lifetime ahead.
The cash value in their policy proved to be a quick and ready source of money for those occasions and opportunities when unexpected things happened–and life always happens.
Without fail, they repay the policy loan so it’s ready and available again. (Because there’s always a next time.)
And that lifetime legacy? It comes full circle when they pass on your act of stewardship and generosity to their children. The lesson is handed down. Your love continues. Your memory lives on.
That’s the Gift 4 A Lifetime.

I love the fact that all of the requirements my daughter will have to accomplish in order to qualify for the scholarship are also good for her heart and soul!”

As you get older in life, you learn things don’t always work out the way we want. Having a life insurance policy that is completely paid for helps protect my grandson’s future family from the bad things that can happen.”
