Scholarships
Scholarships help make an SFSU education accessible to students with financial need, including many who are the first in their families to attend college. Donors can support a wide range of established scholarship funds, from athletics to general needs, including endowed scholarships that provide lasting support for generations of students.
Student Access and Opportunity
Our Student Life and Enrollment Management divisions help create opportunity, instill a sense of “home away from home” and serve as a resource where students can seek assistance or find inspiration.
Supporting Students, Strengthening Communities
Money donated to SFSU goes a long way. Many of our students are first-generation college students, and a large proportion stay in the Bay Area, working in local industries and teaching in our schools. Donating to SFSU changes lives and builds the entire community.
