Empowering the Backbone of SDSU’s Innovation

Graduate students are at the heart of discovery and progress at SDSU- conducting research, developing new ideas, and preparing to lead in industries across the globe. Your gift during One Day for STATE helps ensure they have the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive.

Your support fuels:

• Access Scholarships: Help students without assistantships cover essential costs like tuition, enabling them to stay focused on their studies and overcome challenges to succeed in graduate school.

• Student Awards: Celebrate achievement and dedication by funding academic and research excellence, recognizing the remarkable work of our graduate students.

• Travel & Professional Development: Provide travel awards that allow students to present at conferences regionally, nationally, and internationally, broadening their professional networks and representing SDSU across the globe.

• Events & Community: Build connections through programming, such as Graduate Research Day and student socials, fostering collaboration, engagement, and belonging.

Graduate students span every college and contribute to SDSU’s mission in powerful ways. With your support, we can continue to expand scholarships, increase travel opportunities, and elevate the graduate student experience, amplifying their impact locally and internationally.

Your donation today will have an even greater impact, thanks to the Alan Fenner and Marlys Hauck-Fenner Graduate School Challenge, which helps your gift go further.
