Giving to the College

Giving to SSPA every year makes a difference every day.

From the beginning lectures each fall until graduation each spring, your gifts to the College are hard at work, meeting the ever-changing opportunities and challenges of a metropolitan research university of distinction.

Every year alumni, friends, faculty and staff declare their dedication to SSPA’s mission by making gifts to the college. Collectively, this generosity creates an immediate and personal impact, enriching the lives of every student and faculty member, every day, across the College.

Your continued support is key to our success. We use your gifts to support scholarships, faculty development, and a vibrant campus experience, your participation is needed this year. With your gift, you can nurture the educational aspirations of scholars who are changing the world for the better.

Because of your support, the College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs is able to:

Attract some of the best students, regardless of their financial situations.

Donations allow the dean’s office and departments to support general scholarships so that highly qualified students are admitted regardless of financial circumstances, thereby ensuring a diverse student body. The Single Parent Scholarship Fund and the First-Generation College Scholarship Fund are but two of many examples of ways to help students attend Boise State University.

Build increased capacity for ongoing research activity.

Gifts are used to provide research assistance, travel support, and upgraded technologies for laboratories and classrooms.

Advance academic programs.

Encourage the development and implementation of innovative programs such as the Fettuccine Forum.

The Talkin’ Broncos , the 2005 and 2011 Pi Kappa Delta National Forensics Champion, can continue their winning ways with your support.
