Why Support the Empire State College Annual Fund?

Your support provides student scholarships, emergency no-interest loans and innovative academic programs.  During these challenging fiscal times many of our students will endure immense hardships in the coming months and Empire State College must continue to offer our students a high quality, affordable education.  Students do appreciate this support as stated by Aili MacDonald from the Saratoga unit in the Northeast Center and Diana Padilla from the Center for Distance Learning …

Supporting Scholarships “I would like to express my deep thanks for being awarded a scholarship. … Poverty is not an easy thing to break free from… my family has never been in a position to help me financially. This scholarship will help significantly in expenses like books, fees, and tuition; it also provides a sense of support on a much deeper level … [and places] value in what I am doing.”   - Aili MacDonald

Supporting Programs “Empire State College creates its programs to meet the needs of students and society. Every instructor was interested in my success and their goal was to have me complete the course program with knowledge and understanding …[and] to use what was taught...” - Diana Padilla
