How can I help?
Northeastern is no longer a state-supported school, but rather a state-assisted one. This national trend requires us to seek funding in other ways, including generous private support. Your gifts to the University provide a margin of excellence.

Will this be the only campaign?
This is NSU's most recent campaign for public support, but it's certainly not the last. As state assistance dwindles amid challenging economic times, there's a greater need for broad public support.

Where does my money go?
Your contributions to this comprehensive campaign put Northeastern's vision for charting our second century into motion. Funds support staff and development, building and equipment updates, and student scholarships. Your financial resources enable NSU to remain competitive in recruiting and retaining top students and expert faculty. Your gift also provides University professors and their charges with state-of-the-art technology and updated, well-maintained facilities.

How much should I give?
Your gift is an individual decision. We trust that your appreciation for NSU's mission to provide a quality, affordable education to future generations of Northeast Oklahoma residents is such that you consider a significant commitment. After all, this is your opportunity to invest in the future.

How long do I have to make my gift?
As a NSU alumnus or friend, you can make your gift supporting the Centennial Campaign in the next three to five years. We offer a variety of payment options and schedules for your convenience.

What about annual fund gifts?
Your annual fund support is still important. However, because of the decline of state funding we hope that you consider support beyond your annual gift. Your assistance assures facilities, programs, equipment and funding from permanently endowed funds for NSU faculty and students.

Is my gift tax-deductible?
