Giving Day 2026

All donations this year will go directly to Honors scholarships, via the Michael and Joanne Schwartz Honors Endowment Scholarship Fund, created in honor of Michael Schwartz, former CSU President and founder of the Honors Program. We encourage you to give whatever you can.

For current student and particularly alumni who benefited from the generous scholarships for your Mandel Honors education, please remember the Mandel Endowment covers only 20% of Honors scholarships. We rely on other funds, such as the Schwartz Scholarship Fund, to help fill the funding gap. 

Please pay it forward with whatever is in your means to keep scholarship dollars flowing for current and future students.

Thank you!
