We believe in the unlimited potential of students. They arrive ambitious and ready to embark on their educational journey but there are often unexpected twists and turns along the way. These unforeseen circumstances can threaten to derail a student's progress toward their degree. That's why we've established a safety net to sustain students when unforeseen circumstances arise.
By making a gift on Giving Tuesday, you become part of the Hornet community coming together in generosity. Your support provides direct financial assistance to deserving students, allowing them to focus on what matters most: continuing their educational journey and transforming their lives.
Student Emergency Grant Fund
Supporting any student facing difficulty, this fund serves as a safety net for our students. Your gift will provide grant support to students who encounter financial emergencies that may impact their ability to continue their education.
Green and Gold Scholarship
This scholarship fund was created with one word in mind: access. Your gift will support any student awarded who has demonstrates enthusiasm and determination to obtain their undergraduate degree, despite personal, financial, or other hardships.
Graduate Award & Research Grant Fund
Many undergraduates want to pursue a graduate degree but do not have the resources to immediately engage in every role required: a student, researcher, working professional, and more often than not, a family provider and nurturer. Your gift will support graduate students in their endeavors as they work towards their next educational milestone.
GAIN Fund
Your support will help increase student equity and access to career opportunities by eradicating students’ choice between paying bills today and securing their professional futures through internships. These experiential learning opportunities are critical for professional development and are often out of reach for many of our students. Your gift will help ensure students don't have to work while interning and earning their degree or forfeiting this critical component to their education.
Your generosity will create equity – the kind that comes from having basic needs met or critical emergency support. Wherever students plan to go with their degrees, your gift helps get them there.
Help us build the future through generosity and make a gift on Giving Tuesday, December 3.
Sacramento State is more than an education — it's where the future begins.
