GSW’s seventh annual Day of Giving will be held Thursday, September 18, 2025. This 24-hour fundraising campaign is an opportunity for Hurricanes around the world—alumni, community members, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students—to come together and show their support for Georgia Southwestern State University. This year’s efforts will continue to focus on the annual fund, various scholarships, and student programs! We’re raising the bar once again with a new goal of 600 total donors, including 250 alumni donors! Additionally, we’re challenging supporters from each of the 50 states (and beyond) to light up their state and Turn the Map Gold!
Southwestern Promise Scholarships offer $1,000 and $3,000 scholarships for all eligible GSW freshmen who meet certain academic requirements.
This fund provides a source for campus and student needs as they arise including conference expenses, extra-curricular learning programs, emergency expenses and campus activities and operation.
Your contribution to GSW Athletics includes, but is not limited to, support for athletic facility improvements, scholarships, and recruiting enhancements.
Contributions to support the Carter Leadership Program will bolster existing programs and ensure enhancement of opportunities and involvement.
This year we are challenging our fellow Hurricanes and GSW supporters across the nation to come together to help students’ lives and help us "Turn the Map Gold" by receiving a donation from every state in the United States!
