Posted: Thursday, March 14, 2019Please Support the 2019 Faculty and Staff Appeal
From the Faculty and Staff Appeal Committee
The 2019 Faculty and Staff Appeal—the annual fundraising campaign that supports the hardworking students of Buffalo State—officially kicked off March 6. By now, all faculty and staff members should have received their donor packets through campus mail.
For more than three decades, the Faculty and Staff Appeal has funded hundreds of scholarships and awards for deserving Buffalo State College students, as well as an array of projects, activities, and services to support them. Whether it is based on achievement or need, financial aid is a critical component for many of our students who might not be able to complete their degrees without it. Departments across campus also depend on the appeal to augment resources for the equipment, competitions, master classes, and conferences that enable Buffalo State to provide the high-quality affordable education for which it’s known.
Scholarships and awards are available to students in every discipline. You may support a specific academic or athletic program or the General Scholarship Fund; the Buffalo State Food Pantry or Alternative Break Program; the Counseling Center or Career Development. There are hundreds of ways that you can help; choose a fund that’s meaningful to you. The full list of funds (PDF, 289 KB) is available on the Giving website.
If you have given to the Faculty and Staff Appeal in years past, thank you. We rely on your continued support. If you have not participated in this crucial fundraising campaign in previous years, we hope you will become a first-time donor. We are grateful for each and every gift received, no matter the amount. Each gift is important. Each gift matters to our students.
Please support our students: It’s What Bengals Do.
Thank you.
