Basic Needs & Financial Support

Basic Needs & Financial Support

Every day at Sacramento State, determined students take bold steps toward their dreams. But even the brightest dreams can be dimmed by financial hardship.

Every gift becomes an immediate lifeline for students, ensuring they can focus on what matters most — earning their degree.

  Green and Gold Scholarship

This scholarship recognizes the fierce determination of students who pursue their dreams despite personal, financial, or other obstacles. Your gift tells them: your dedication deserves support.

  Sac State CARES

When unexpected challenges arise — from housing insecurity to mental health needs — this flexible fund enables immediate, meaningful support. Your contribution becomes the safety net that keeps dreams from falling.

  ASI Food Pantry

No student should have to choose between eating and learning. The Food Pantry provides nutritious food and essential supplies to students facing food insecurity, ensuring they don't have to choose between groceries and their education.


Hope has a powerful ally: YOU!

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.
