“Your contributions, whether you’ve invited us to Coachella or gave up a night out to support a scholarship, are helping cement our place in history as one of America’s leading historically black colleges and universities and one of the best places to learn in Louisiana,” said President Rick Gallot.

Give Now: Why Celebrate Bring it Home? 

This year’s annual report is proof that every gift and contribution to the Bring it Home campaign help create real change on our campus and in the lives of students.  

Here are a few ways donor support has helped advance Grambling State this past year: 

Student Financial Help 

Last Year’s Bring It Home campaign helped provide more than $300,000 in direct support for students in need. This impacted the balances of hundreds of students through a variety of scholarships; including GAP which is designed solely to support students in reaching the academic finish line. 

Research & Grants 

To date, Grambling State’s Bring it Home campaign has helped bring more than $2.5 million in grants to campus. Our supporters offer more than a donation. You also ignite powerful conversations, investments, and help from our alumni and community members. Those contributions help fund cutting-edge research in cybersecurity, biomedical research, business, and more right here on campus. 

Increased Alumni Engagement 

Students are the lifeblood of our campus and as they transition to alumni, they become the anchor of our legacy. In 2018-19, each alumni chapter helped spread the word and grow the investment from our past graduates. That investment showed up, not only in the dollars on the balance sheet; it resulted in recruiting the largest high school day on record.
