Senior Class Legacy

Be A Part of the Legacy!

SHSU's Senior Class Legacy Campaign is a way for seniors to create their legacy at Sam Houston before they graduate!  Each senior class raises money for scholarships that will be awarded to undergraduates in need of financial assistance. Over $111,500 has been raised by students for the Senior Class Legacy Scholarship since its establishment in 2012!

Why Should Seniors Give?

  • Help fellow students by providing scholarship opportunities.
  • Say "thank you" for the education provided to you and pay it forward. 
  • Join with your class and leave your legacy!
  • Give a gift in the amount of your class year (i.e. Class of 2026 = $20.26 or Class of 2027 = $20.27) or more to the Senior Class Legacy scholarship and receive a recognition cord for graduation.

Not a Senior?

No problem! You can still give back to the Senior Class Legacy Scholarship, or any fund of your choice, to help support students at SHSU.
