“Donor support has changed my life significantly. I earned a scholarship that is providing me
with much-needed funds to pay for tuition and books. This gift was timely and closed the
financial gap. Thank you to all the donors who have generously given a life-changing gift.”

“Annual Giving Circle donors are an important part of the SDSU family. Their generosity has provided resources for the greatest needs of the university, including scholarships, faculty research, student resources and so much more. Their annual support makes a tremendous difference.”

“SDSU’s Economic Crisis Response Team relies on annual giving to support students who are experiencing immediate food, housing and other financial crises. Thanks to our donors, our team
served over 4,000 students in 2020, providing them access to basic needs, emergency aid,
community support, technology for their courses, transportation support and much more.”

“As an SDSU student, I was fortunate to receive scholarship support, which allowed me to work fewer hours and focus on developing leadership skills by participating in student and academic organizations. It’s my turn to pay it forward, and I am honored to be a donor of SDSU’s Annual Giving Circle.”
