Campaign

Delta State invites you to partner in supporting dynamic changes that will make a transformational difference for its students, the university, and the community! This fundraising campaign will be one of the most important undertakings leading up to Delta State’s centennial year, and will help the university achieve the goals of its fundraising priorities.

Today the university is poised to move to the next level of success. Delta State recently adopted and implemented operational principles of a carefully thought-out vision that will help plan and guide its successful future. And, it has the capabilities and capacity for growth, which will allow the university to have an even greater impact on its students, alumni, community, and state. Transforming that vision of the university’s future success into reality will require substantial private financial support. State resources and student tuition alone will not cover the costs.

Few philanthropic causes are more worthy of your financial investment than the education of a young person who represents the future, and of an educational institution that is producing positive outcomes and results that matter. This is a ripe and critical moment in time — for those who care about Delta State — to support significant changes that will only occur with the combination of the university’s vision and your partnership and investment in its future. Visualize the impact and personal touch your financial support will have on future students as Delta State works to develop their minds and tap their human potential. Now is the time to invest in Delta State to support its clear and dedicated sense of purpose and vision, and to help meet the higher education needs of tomorrow’s students in an ever-changing demographic and world.

Imagine what your contribution could help accomplish!
