One CSUSM

Together we are #OneCSUSM, raising money for student scholarships which helps close important gaps in aid for our students. For many students, financial support from family is not an option – nearly 70% of our students receive financial aid. Scholarships are a vital component to success, encouraging our students to persist to graduation and experience the sense of pride that comes from earning a degree.

Open to all enrolled students, the General Scholarship supports CSUSM students who experience an array of financial issues that would impede their degree progress. Many are experiencing catastrophic events, like loss of income, the death of a parent, or struggling to meet basic needs. Your gift to the General Scholarship will go to our students who need financial assistance the most.

So many scholarship recipients express how much it means to them knowing that someone they’ve never met wants to see them achieve their goals. Join us and carry the flag for our students on April 4th at www.csusm.edu/onecsusm.
