About

Invest in a Bear. Invest in the Future.

At Shawnee State University, every gift is more than a donation—it’s an investment in the future of our students, our campus, and our community.

When you invest in a Bear, you help turn dreams into reality by opening doors to opportunity, empower success, and shaping the future of our students.

This Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2025, join us for the SSU Day of Giving.

Together with fellow alumni, friends, faculty, and staff, we’re aiming to raise $40,000 for The Shawnee Fund, which serves as a vital resource supporting scholarships, grants, and campus initiatives.

Your support helps Bears thrive today and lead tomorrow.


Give. Share. Inspire.

Because when you invest in a Bear, you invest in the future.
