Sacramento State's diverse students embody resilience, bring unique perspectives, and strengthen our community. While their potential is limitless, many face significant obstacles on their path to success. Your support can be the catalyst that helps them overcome these challenges and become the leaders they are meant to be.
Key Initiatives for Enrollment, Academic Excellence, and Wellbeing:
Black Honors College
Faculty designed this ground-breaking program to empower students interested in Black history, life, culture, and contributions. Participating students engage in accelerated coursework while receiving comprehensive support to ensure their success. By supporting the Black Honors College or its scholarship, you ensure ambitious students who are our future leaders receive the support and opportunities they need.
Scholarships: Green & Gold
Access is everything. This scholarship supports determined students who demonstrate academic promise but face personal, financial, or other hardships. Your contribution removes barriers, allowing talented individuals to focus on their studies rather than their circumstances.
Former Foster Youth Support: Guardian Scholars
For former foster youth, support along their academic journey is invaluable. The Guardian Scholars program provides critical support through academic advising, career advising, professional mentoring, emergency funding, internship opportunities, and community-building. Your gift can support these ambitious students as they embark on crafting a bright future.
