GSW’s fifth annual Day of Giving was held Thursday, September 21, 2023. This 24-hour fundraising campaign was an opportunity for Hurricanes around the world—alumni, community members, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students—to join together and show support for Georgia Southwestern State University. This year’s efforts continued to focus on various scholarships in support of our Propel Scholarship Campaign, general Athletics, and a capital improvement project. We have raised the bar even higher by increasing our goal to 400 total donors! Additionally, we challenged donors from each of the 50 states (and beyond) to light up their state and Turn the Map Gold!
This fund provides students with the financial support they need to overcome an unanticipated financial hardship that inhibits their ability to finish a degree.
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.
The renovation of the Griffin Bell Conference Center will help foster local entrepreneurs with a makerspace and provide a venue for social functions and conferences.
We challenged Hurricanes and GSW supporters across the nation to come together to help students’ lives. This year we Turned the Map gold by receiving a donation from every state in the United States!
