Give Back

Philanthropy plays a vital role in expanding opportunities for current and future students. 

Gifts from alumni, employees, friends, and community partners support scholarships, innovative programs, student resources, faculty excellence, and strategic priorities that advance the university's mission. 

Every gift helps create transformative educational experiences and opens doors for learners whose lives will be changed by the power of education.

Areas to Support 

One of the most powerful ways to support Empire now is with a gift to The Fund for Empire State University, empowering President Vollendorf and university leadership to meet higher education’s biggest challenges with strength and agility. 

Scholarships 

A scholarship is more than financial assistance – it is an investment in a student’s future. 

Every year, scholarships funded by alumni, donors, employees, and friends help Empire students pursue their educational goals with greater confidence and fewer financial barriers. For many students, scholarship support makes it possible to remain enrolled, complete their degrees, and create new opportunities for themselves, their families, and their communities. 

When you support scholarships, you help expand access to education and empower learners to achieve their full potential. 

Create Opportunity Through Scholarships 

Whether you choose to support an existing scholarship fund or establish a scholarship of your own, your generosity creates lasting impact for generations of Empire students.
