Ways to Give
Scholarships
Each year, generous supporters help transform the lives of thousands of students at the USG. Your support enables students to overcome financial barriers and earn degrees close to home. Unfortunately, limited scholarship funds mean only half of qualified applicants receive the help they need. Your gift can change that. By supporting USG scholarships, you open doors for hardworking students, strengthen families, grow our community, and build a skilled local workforce. Generosity empowers talented students to reach their potential and launch meaningful careers—right here in our region.
Corporate and Campus Area Sponsorships
At USG, we believe in the power of collaboration. Our Corporate Sponsorship Program is designed to build meaningful partnerships between the business community, academia and students. Whether you're seeking to support our innovative model of higher education, promote your brand to a diverse and talented audience, or invest in the future workforce, we invite you to become part of our mission.
Urgent Student Needs
USG is dedicated to the well-being of students, including basic needs such as food and toiletries. We offer a number of resources and programs, on and off campus, for students who may need this assistance. USG has established partnerships with Manna Food Center and Capital Area Foodbank to provide food access programs including Manna Choice Market at the Grove, USG Mobile Market, and Grover Essentials. Learn about these programs here.
USG accepts everything from cash, to gifts of stocks and securities. Planned giving can protect your assets and your family while making a significant impact through a gift that costs nothing in your lifetime.

Invest in the USG Community
Education is opportunity, but graduating with debt can limit choices and options. Every student deserves the education that helps them realize their strengths, interests, and values, and every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams debt-free. At USG, we say, why not? Let’s do it!
