It is important to give back and providing assistance to deserving students is a great way to facilitate this. I would not have been able to afford college without scholarships and want to make sure today's SUU students have the same opportunity I had a couple years ago.

I give to SUU because I have seen first hand how donor funds help students, that wouldn't otherwise be able to attend college and see their dream of graduating become a reality. It is so rewarding to see how successful these students are years after graduation. To think that my little donation might have been a part of what helps these students succeed, I can't "not" donate.
Malinda Rhodes
I give to SUU because I believe in the future of our students!
Brandon Street
I give because I received my Master's Degree from SUU, so I know it's a great university!
Cindy Moxley
Philanthropy has always been very important to me, and to give back to the University where I work instills in me a feeling of pride and ownership. We invest in the things that are important to us, and I'm already investing time & energy here, so why not also my gifts? I love working at SUU, and although I'll likely never have my name on a building, I enjoy knowing that my small-but-mighty contributions have helped students achieve their goals.
Angela Pool-Funai
I completed my BS degree at SUU at the age of 33, with a wife and three children in tow. Had it not been for departmental scholarships, that process would have taken longer, and may not have been completed. I give because I love SUU, and the way it changes lives. Because SUU helped me, all of my children have graduated from this institution, and some of them are also giving back through donation.
Robert Eves
I give because SUU gave so much to me as a student, and now as a staff member! SUU is more than just my alma mater; it's my home!
Rachel Abramson
I truly believe in this institution and its dedication to making each students experience worthwhile. It was a very special place to me as a student and I want to make sure every student has the opportunity to attend!
Amie Tukuafu
I support SUU because I think my dollars make a bigger difference here. I contribute to Art and Design scholarships and see the direct result when we are able to help talented students afford school.
Jeff Hanson
I wouldn't have been able to attend SUU without various scholarship opportunities and resources on campus. I give since I believe others should have the same opportunities to achieve their educational goals!
Jayson Matlock
My professors saw more in me than a struggling young father with long-hair. They pushed me to be a better me and as a result I was able to secure a full ride scholarship. I’m In and will always pay it forward because of those professors and the amazing education I received.
