Central State University Foundation

Give. Inspire. Transform.
The Central State University Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports Central State University and helps students to continue their education through financial aid, scholarships, and student life improvements. By giving, you can help inspire students to pursue their dreams and transform lives.

The Central State University Foundation strives to provide students with opportunities to continue their education and fulfill their dreams. Thanks to generous donors and private partners over the years, the Foundation has used donated funds to help build the endowment, strengthen academic programs and services, enhance the learning environment, and expand scholarship offerings for CSU students. Approximately 95% of CSU students require a scholarship or a grant to help defray college expenses. Since 2001, CSUF has awarded an average of $225,000 per year in scholarships derived from alumni and friends of the university.
