Giving:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world, indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead.
Why Give?
When you give to the Alumni Association you are making a statement to the community that you believe in building value in your degree from San José State. That investment helps to play a transformative role in the lives of many.
One example of how your investment transforms is through our annual scholarship awards. For over 35 years we have been providing scholarships to some of San José State’s best and brightest. These scholarships transform the lives of the students who receive them each semester! This program is the leading alumni scholarship program In the entire 23-campus California State University system in the total scholarship dollars awarded annually, and a major pride point for our alumni.
Another example of how your investment transforms is through our alumni college “Classes without Quizzes” programming. Events like these engage our alumni in life-long learning at a very low cost that would not be possible without the generous underwriting provided through alumni donations. These regional programs offer opportunities for Spartans to learn and connect throughout the West. Many other types of programming exist to address the various needs of our alumni such as: academic, cultural, networking, and social.
Every donation is important, regardless of size. We want to know your passionate interest areas and how we can help you bring about change in that area. From endowed scholarships to unrestricted gifts to campus beautification to voluntary service, we can manage it all.
