Directing Your Gift
Your gift to Cal State San Bernardino represents an investment in our two most important priorities – our students and our region.
There are countless opportunities to “Direct Your Gift” to support a scholarship or program that will enrich students' educational experiences.
In addition to the thousands of students we serve, your gifts may also benefit a faculty member pursuing a unique research project, a special program in one of the university's five academic colleges, the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus, or a capital project designed to improve the campus environment and our connection to the local community.
