Parents Fund

The Parents Fund is used to assist in providing funds for crucial program enhancements, scholarships, fellowships for students and other important programs that enrich the educational experience of MSU students. The Parents Fund also allows President LouAnna Simon to allocate resources for urgent needs on campus. The programs and facilities enhanced through your support increase the value of every MSU student's degree. MSU is able to be a leader in higher education thanks in large part to the generous financial support of alumni, friends and parents like you. Your generous gift to MSU's Parents Fund will complement the educational experience of present and future Spartans.

"Given the significant outlay required, it is easy for parents to feel that tuition should cover the cost of educating a child. However, the reality is that it's only part of the equation. Tuition does not cover all the expenses incurred. Each dollar donated holds critical importance for Michigan State University."
