What is the Class Gift Campaign?

The Class Gift Campaign is your first chance to give back to your alma mater and make an impact as a graduating class.  Although gifts of any size are welcome, we challenge all graduating students to make a gift of $25 or more to the campaign. 

Graduating seniors who make a gift of $25 or more will receive a blue tassel to wear at the Commencement Ceremony and will be recognized.

How will my gift be used?

The best part about donating to the Class Gift Campaign is that you decide how you would like your gift to be used!  You can donate to your college or to the university to be used where the need is the greatest.  In the past, donations to the university have been used to establish new programs, improve facilities, fund research, and to provide financial aid opportunities to deserving students.

Why should I give?

State funding and tuition only cover a small percentage of the total cost of a student’s education.  Each year over 8,000 alumni give to Georgia State.  Over the past several years students have benefited from this generosity.

Overall participation in giving from graduating students and alumni is important to Georgia State.  This participation rate is used by U.S. News & World Report and others as one of the factors in determining Georgia State’s ranking among other universities.  When you contribute at any level, you are increasing the value of a Georgia State degree.
