Endowments
Endowments represent the University’s permanently invested capital that generates funds (annual interest/dividend earnings) to support the University.
Many donors have established endowments with their gifts to Northwestern State University. Each donor decides which area of the University they wish to assist with their endowment.
Each endowment also provides the donor with a permanent naming opportunity. Oftentimes, endowment funds are named for the donor(s), for loved ones of the donor(s), or for someone for whom the donor(s) have great admiration, i.e., a respected faculty member.
Each year the University makes available part of the endowment earnings for whatever purpose the donor(s) selected when the endowment fund was established. To protect against inflation, and to help each donor’s endowment fund grow over time, part of the endowment earnings each year are added back to the endowment principal.

Academics / Athletics / Other Giving Opportunities
We need your support! The challenge of continuing to fund excellence at the NCAA Division I level becomes more challenging each year. Priority number one for NSU is maintaining the financial capability to offer the maximum number of scholarships allowed under NCAA guidelines in each sport. In addition, the cost of recruiting those student-athletes, as well as other vital operating expenses, escalate each year to the point that funds from the NSU program must supplement the Department of Athletics budget to put the NSU athletic program in a position to be successful.

Among other opportunities to contribute to Northwestern State University is giving to the Alumni Annual Fund.
Alumni Annual Fund
Alumni and friends contribute to NSU for many valid reasons. They believe in life long learning. They believe in the hope of the future which a quality education provides.
The Alumni Annual Fund enables the NSU Alumni Association to continue the tradition of its mission and to serve as a liason between the support of generous alumni and friends, and the best educational environment we can provide for our students.
By supporting student programs, alumni programs, and academic areas funded by the Alumni Annual Fund, you can help NSU to continue as a premier institution of higher learning.
To make a donation to the Northwestern State University Alumni Association please visit the website at www.northwesternalumni.com, and click on the “Update our Files” link. You can also e-mail Connie White at whitec@nsula.edu or call her at 318-357-4270 for more information regarding NSU’s Annual Fund Drive.
