Start a Scholarship

Scholarships help us attract outstanding students, make a college degree more affordable, and allow our students to concentrate more fully on their studies and educational experience.

Starting a scholarship is a rewarding way to give back to CSU. Scholarships can also be established as a memorial or tribute to a loved one. Read on for more details.

Supporting Students with Scholarships

With one of the largest scholarship programs on campus, we made 248 scholarship awards for 2020-21 totaling more than $455,000. This is a testament not only to our talented students but to the caring dedication and generous spirits of our donors. If you are a student looking for application information, go to our scholarships page.

Establishing a Named Scholarship

Named scholarships can pay tribute to a loved one or special faculty member, preserve a family name, or highlight a company presence. Scholarships connect the past, present, and future!

Asset 106 Annual Scholarship

Establish an Annual Scholarship in your name, in memory of a loved one, or in honor of a colleague or former professor. Annual scholarships depend on a gift from a donor every year. A minimum five-year commitment of giving is requested for all annual scholarships.

  • $2,500 and above: Donors may designate the program, department, and/or college in which the scholarship is awarded, as well as provide specific qualifications, such as GPA, financial need, class year, geographic location, and other appropriate criteria.
  • $1,000-2,499 annual commitment: Donors may designate the major, program, department, and/or college in which the scholarship is awarded.

Asset 108 Endowed Scholarship

By establishing an Endowed Scholarship, your contributions are invested with the CSU Foundation, and students are awarded scholarships each year from a portion of the earnings generated by the principal of a gift (currently 4.25 percent). Any remainder is then reinvested in the fund to preserve and ensure the growth of the endowment in perpetuity. Scholarship endowments may be funded at one time or up to five years. Your endowment will support students for generations!

  • $50,000 Minimum – Presidential Endowed Scholarship: Donors may designate the program, department, and/or college in which the scholarship is awarded, as well as provide specific qualifications, such as GPA, financial need, class year, geographic area, and other appropriate criteria.
  • $25,000 Minimum – University Endowed Scholarship: Donors may designate the major, program, department, and/or college in which the scholarship is awarded.
