Student Success Programs

In 2024, tuition, fees and state support covered less than two-thirds of the actual cost of college.

This means most Panthers rely on programs fueled by donor generosity to stay enrolled and moving forward. Each semester, 80% of all GSU students report some level of unmet financial need. Donors help close financial gaps by supporting Student Success efforts.

It's hard to dream big and achieve when you're hungry, struggling or financially insecure. Give Panthers a hand by supporting one of these programs and you'll give help them seize opportunities that build bright futures.

GIVE RELIEF. SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAMS.
