Annual Fund for Excellence

Sam Houston State University has honored its historical roots by providing students with an excellent education. We continue to be able to do this thanks to the support of alumni, friends, faculty and staff, parents and corporations who are part of SHSU's powerful giving community.

The Annual Fund for Excellence is a vital means of providing ongoing support to make the greatest immediate impact on our university. The Annual Fund supports scholarships, academic priorities, and new initiatives.
