Give to JCSU
Types of donations
President’s Gap and General Scholarships
A majority of JCSU students are Pell Grant eligible, meaning they are faced with significant challenges in funding their education. The President’s Gap Scholarship was designed to fill the financial gaps for students whose only barrier to their education is financial. Other general scholarships help fund merit, presidential and pride and purpose scholarship awards.
Band/Choir
The rich culture found at an HBCU is perhaps most notable in its arts programs, specifically through the band and choir. A donation to the International Institution of Sound (IIOS) Marching Band and the JCSU Concert Choir will assist the program by paying for travel costs, equipment, and student support.
