why give
At Norfolk State University, our students and faculty are making a difference every day on our campus, in our community, across the nation and around the world. But we don't do it alone. We do it through the generosity of alumni, parents and friends — like you — who also believe strongly not only in what NSU do, but also in how we do it.
Your annual gifts allow us to provide scholarships to deserving students, recruit high-caliber faculty, fund academic research, support our Spartan student-athletes, and serve the community in countless ways. By making an endowment contribution, you help our students change the world today and you change our students for a lifetime.
