Just Announced: Two Ways to Make a BIG Impact!!

1. Your Giving Day Gift Amplified — 2.25x Match for Scholarships!

Endowed scholarships are the most impactful way you can help bring a life-changing Stony Brook education within reach for a deserving student. On Giving Day 2025, your gift to the Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund will be more than doubled through a special match.

Thanks to the MJS Foundation as well as the New York State match, your gift to unrestricted endowed scholarships will be matched 2.25x up to $100,000! For instance, a gift of $100 will become $225 in total impact to support talented Seawolves.

In addition, thanks to the Stony Brook Alumni Association, when 150 donors make their gift to the Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund, it will unlock an additional $30,000 for scholarships, which means your gift goes even further!

2. Take Part in the Alumni Association Challenge

The Alumni Association wants to help YOU make an even bigger impact.
