Fund Your Passion
EVERY day, your gift helps Keene State College continue to teach exceptional young people how to live our motto, "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve," and make meaningful contributions to an ever-changing world. It is an investment in today's students and the future they will help to shape. Your support makes a difference, and we extend our heartfelt thanks on behalf of Keene State students and the entire College Community.
The KSC Fund is a crucial student retention tool for Keene State College, directly impacting our students’ ability to continue their studies without interruption. Contributions provide financial aid for enrolled students who have exhausted other scholarship, loan and work-study options. Investing in the KSC Fund enables students to persist at Keene State through graduation.
Your gift will change lives and make a difference to Keene State students today and for future generations! Donate to an existing scholarship gift fund OR create a new scholarship fund to ensure that your gift will have an impact for years into the future.
Gifts to academic programs support and enhance the student experience. Departments utilize gift funds to purchase classroom materials, bring guest lecturers to campus, offer stipends for student travel to conferences, and respond to unexpected opportunities and unforeseen challenges.
Whether on the field, on the court, in the pool, or on the track, our Division III teams are ready to give each game day their all. But athletics at Keene State do more than just teach our students how to win. Our student athletes develop life skills like leadership, juggling multiple priorities, adaptability, how to reach goals, and how to stay humble. We are preparing our student athletes for careers in the twenty-first century. Athletics’ success depends on private funding from alumni, parents and friends to keep uniforms looking fresh, facilities state-of-the-art, and competition fierce.
The Student Emergency Fund provides critical support to Keene State students facing unexpected financial hardships. Unforeseen circumstances can quickly derail a student’s academic progress. Contributions to the Student Emergency Fund directly help students overcome these challenges and stay on track towards their educational goals.
Your support of student clubs and activities helps build a vibrant campus community where students discover their passions, develop leadership skills, and forge lifelong connections. These experiences are essential to a well-rounded education and empower students to thrive both personally and professionally.
Gifts to Experiential Learning programs help students gain valuable real-world skills through internships, research opportunities, community projects, and other high-impact practices. Learning outside of the classroom prepares them to embark on their careers and become valuable contributors to our society.
Class giving is a way to team up with your classmates to maximize your philanthropy and make a statement about the impact KSC made on you. Alumni classes often establish funds to which their classmates can donate to support an effort they all agreed on, as a class. Many classes have created endowed scholarships or contributed support for academic programs. If your class hasn’t established a fund, please contact a member of our team to learn how you can do this.
The Cohen Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies offers workshops, events, and other programs geared toward KSC students as well as the broader public. Your gift will go directly to support offerings that rely upon donor support, such as student internships, professional development opportunities for teachers, books for local reading groups, and field trips/experiential learning.
