Share on Social Media
Connect with us on social media and share the photos and stories you love with your friends and family.


Lift.

You can lift a student to tremendous heights by providing life-changing opportunities and experiences.

Fund A Scholarship
Provide new Knights with chances for learning that would not have been available without your assistance. To learn more about various ways to fund a scholarship, email alumni@svu.edu.

Give Back
Help your alma mater thrive through a one-time or recurring donation to fund programs, infrastructure, or give to a general fund to further bless lives.

Mentor a Student
