About the Foundation

Our mission statement says it all: “The St. Cloud State University Foundation exists to support and enhance SCSU’s ability to ignite students’ learning and discovery of their gifts, their passions, and their potential contributions to society.”
We provide donors with a streamlined, personalized approach to giving that allows them to effortlessly make a positive impact on St. Cloud State. Each school year we provide more than 700 scholarships to deserving students through gifts from our donors.
Creating a strong base for future success is another important aspect of what we do. As of June 30, 2011 our endowment was $20.79 million.
