When we launched this year’s campaign, we set $200,000 as a target because we want to set the bar higher than last year’s campaign. The donations thus far have shown us that our alumni believe in this cause — to raise as much money as possible for student scholarships. Now we have a few days to raise the bar even higher and in turn, create more scholarship opportunities for CSUN students.
CSUN Alumni have come together to launch the “Matador Hearts for Matador Minds” scholarship giving campaign. We are appealing to the hearts of people like you to help our students in their educational journey. This is our way of helping students stay the course and realize the dream of earning a degree.
CSUN Alumni scholarships are transformational
We saw how a pandemic can so deeply impact those who are vulnerable and make the road toward graduation more challenging. This has become a call to action for us, one that we ask you to support.
Donate to help CSUN Alumni fund student scholarships. Annually, CSUN Alumni awards scholarships to deserving students, many in need, in three categories:
First-Generation Students
The first in their immediate family to attend a four-year college or university.
Legacy Students
The child or grandchild of CSUN/San Fernando Valley State College alumni.
Graduate Student
A student who has earned an undergraduate, graduate degree or teaching credential from CSUN and is enrolled at CSUN working toward a higher degree.
How can you make a difference?
The CSUN Alumni board is comprised of individuals like you who see CSUN's success as their own. We have launched this campaign with an initial donation.
We're asking you to join us. Every bit counts. Your heart can elevate minds.
Small donations can make a big impact. An accrual of donations at this level can add up quickly and help us provide additional scholarships in the future.
CSUN has been helping students rise since 1958. Your gift of $50 helps propel the success of CSUN students and alumni.
CSUN's first graduating class was nearly 100 students. CSUN now graduates about 10,000 students annually. Donate $100 to alumni scholarships and help CSUN students on the path toward earning their degrees.
CSUN Alumni currently awards 15 scholarships annually. Support these awards with your gift of $150.
CSUN Alumni has presented more than 300 scholarships to our outstanding students. Your donation will help endow these scholarships so support is available to students in perpetuity.
Make an even larger impact. $1,000 will get us closer to our goal, but it will also truly make a difference for a student in need
