Alumni

Give Back

Students come to CSUN to pursue their dreams, advance knowledge, create art, inspire children, and transform their own lives and the lives of others. They illuminate the past, shape the present, and will discover the future. They will leave the world a better place. They are our future.

When alumni, friends, and families contribute to CSUN, you support faculty and student research, provide much-needed scholarships and endow many other projects that create the excellent education that we offer our students. Every contribution is vital and deeply appreciated. For information on ways to contribute to the university, select an item from the menu below.

Make a Planned Gift

The CSUN Heritage Society recognizes and honors alumni and friends of California State University, Northridge, and San Fernando Valley State College who have made a financial commitment to CSUN's future through their estate plans. While traditional cash gifts are invaluable to the university today, planned giving is a crucial investment in our university's commitment to be relevant, responsive and ready for the future.
