Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund

Endowed scholarships are the most impactful way you can help bring a life-changing Stony Brook education within reach for a deserving student. And 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.* 

This incredible opportunity means that your contribution will allow us to provide more scholarships and support to exceptional students. Your generosity helps us attract and retain talented students, foster innovation, and maintain the high standards of excellence that define Stony Brook University. By supporting the Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund, you are making a commitment to the future of education and empowering the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators.

How do endowments work? They’re the “gifts that keep on giving.” When you make your gift to the Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund, it is placed in a long-term investment fund. The investment returns each year will be used to support scholarships for deserving students. Importantly, the invested principal is preserved for the future, ensuring that your gift continues to benefit students for years to come.

By making your gift to the Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund, you will support multiple generations of students, creating a lasting legacy and profound impact on Stony Brook University.

Join us in making a lasting difference. Make your gift to the Stony Brook Endowed Scholarship Fund today and be a part of something enduring and impactful. Thank you for your support!
