Donate to Scholarships for KSU Students

Our retirees have been generous in supporting the University and its students, helping generations receive the financial support they need to pursue their academic dreams.

We have created two scholarship funds for students who are direct descendants (children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren) of KSU or SPSU retirees.

Our annual scholarship fund depends on donations each year, while our endowed scholarship fund will provide scholarships for the future. Through donations and fundraising activities, we have provided scholarships to more than 50 students who are children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren of former Kennesaw State University or Southern Polytechnic State University faculty or staff members.

Support Future Generations

Support KSU and SPSU children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren by making a gift to the KSU Retirees Annual Legacy Scholarship or the KSU Retirees Legacy Endowed Scholarship today.
