Testimonials

Matt Jensen, Senior
The scholarship support I received from the SCSU Foundation allowed me to participate in outstanding quality education in the Herberger College of Business and partake in two study abroad programs that have been defining life experiences for me.  I am indebted to the Foundation donors for the support that allowed me to participate in exceptional educational opportunities at SCSU.

Brittany Wurm, Student
I’ve known since the ripe, young age of five that when I grew up, I wanted to change others’ lives through teaching.  Becoming a teacher, especially during the early years of a child’s schooling experience, has always been my dream. Thanks to the faculty and staff here at St. Cloud State as well as donor support my dreams are becoming a reality. Your gifts hold priceless meaning to all students and we are grateful for your generosity.

SCSU is a great place to work.  I wanted to give back to campus and with payroll deduction it is an easy way to make a gift to the fund of my choice.

Ralph Carr
Professor of Mathematics, Chairperson
I make annual contributions to the SCSU Foundation to support our ongoing scholarship program in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics.  I believe that recognizing our students for their academic achievements really is a central mission of the University.
