Brian D. Bates Memorial Scholarship
By SJSU Alumni Association
Help support the Brian D. Bates Memorial Scholarship during this year's Day of Giving.
Help support the Brian D. Bates Memorial Scholarship during this year's Day of Giving. SJSU Alumni Association The SJSU Alumni Association has established a memorial scholarship in honor of our friend Brian Bates. Brian served as the Associate Vice President for Alumni and Community Engagement for fifteen years. During his tenure, he made a tremendous impact on the university and the greater San Jose community through his leadership. He led efforts to establish a campus-wide commencement ceremony and raised scholarship giving from 30K to more than 80K annually. Brian enjoyed many hobbies and activities such as photography, travel, and trail walking but his favorite pastime was baseball. You could find him with his stats book in the stands, or listening intently to the feed of a game while relaxing at home. Often when visiting a friend in a different part of the country if it was baseball season he'd make sure to squeeze a game into his schedule. Brian was a leader on our campus and within the alumni relations community. As a colleague and friend Brian was thorough, patient and kind. He was smart and strategic and lifted others around him up. He was also highly principled and never deviated from doing the right thing even in the toughest of circumstances. He was committed to integrating diversity, equity and inclusion into the core of alumni and community engagement. SJSU Alumni Association has established an endowed scholarship that captures the spirit of justice that Brian advocated in everything he did. The award will be given to a student that is an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion by demonstrating an above and beyond commitment to social justice within their academic projects, their profession or community. You can help make this scholarship a reality by contributing to it today! Help us raise $25,000 to receive the full match from the Alumni Association by making your gift today or sharing it with others in your network.

Dr. Ruth Huard Study Abroad Scholarship Fund
By CPGE
Help support CPGE's equity-focused study abroad scholarship fund during this year's Day of Giving!
Help support CPGE's equity-focused study abroad scholarship fund during this year's Day of Giving! CPGE Who are we? Welcome to the Study Abroad & Away office in the College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE) at San Jose State University. CPGE’s mission is to provide access to relevant educational programs that allow individuals to gain knowledge and skills to create a solid foundation for them to be engaged and productive members of a global society. We are committed to internationalizing our campus in order to cultivate an environment of diversity and inclusion, and to graduate students who are prepared to live and lead in an increasingly globalized world. Our vision is to develop global citizens – students, scholars, and alumni who are deeply cognizant of living in a connected and interdependent world. In support of this mission, we offer 350 study abroad programs around the world. We are proud of our robust offerings to enable every Spartan to participate in an immersive global experience before they graduate from SJSU. However, we know that many of our historically underrepresented minority students are unable to bridge the required expenses associated with such value-added experiences. While students can use their financial aid to cover much of the normal educational expenses such as tuition and housing, we know that many of our students are simply unable to pay for expenses that are not covered by financial aid. We are aware of the growing need to create leadership development opportunities for students who participate in our study abroad programs to further engage in the university’s internationalization goals. Now that borders are opening up again, we are seeing a growing desire for students to engage globally. We are preparing to launch our Global Ambassadors leadership development program which is now offered in the Spartan Leadership Opportunities Catalog offered by the Division of Student Affairs. Why are we raising money? We need help to launch three new initiatives inspired by the social justice-mindedness of our former Dean, Dr. Ruth Huard. Equity & Inclusion Scholarships: We plan to offer scholarships to incentivize historically underrepresented minority students to participate in any of our 350+ study abroad program opportunities around the world. We especially want to help offset some of the expenses that are often required, but are either not covered by their financial aid assistance or due before aid is applied. These expenses can include required program or housing abroad deposits, student visas, international insurance coverage, and others. DACA Students Abroad: We want to level the playing field for DACA students who have an additional required $575 filing fee for the UCSC Form I-131: Application for Travel Documents, which enables them to participate in international education programs and be able to return to the U.S. We want to subsidize this expense to reduce the financial barrier and enable them to participate in a global experience like every student at SJSU. Global Ambassadors Leadership Development: As we recover from the pandemic which greatly impacted global education, we are preparing to launch a new Global Ambassador leadership development program. We want to provide programming funds for current and former study abroad students to engage in the internationalization goals of the university. How can you help? You can help the internationalization goals of the university by donating to our fundraising goals. While we’ve set an ambitious goal of raising the initial fund of $5,000 on Giving Tuesday, we know that the more funds we can raise beyond that will go directly to supporting our Global Spartans. Please consider supporting the global mission of our university.

Filipino Alumni Network Scholarship Fund
By Filipino Alumni Network
Help support the Filipino Alumni Network during this year's Day of Giving.
Help support the Filipino Alumni Network during this year's Day of Giving. Filipino Alumni Network Who are we? Filipino Alumni Network (FAN) was established in the Summer of 2021 with the amazing dedication of our founding board. We are an organization that is focused on career development, cultural awareness, and connection with our Filipinx Spartan community and allies alike. Since our establishment in Summer of 2021, FAN has been able to hit the ground running. Earlier this Spring, FAN hosted its official “Launch Event” where we networked and broke bread, in-person, with over 40 different alumni in attendance at San Pedro Square here in Downtown San Jose. Next we held our “Power in the Pipeline” virtual panel where we invited other Filipinx alumni associations from across California to speak with us about their own journeys and any advice they have for us as we begin this work as a new alumni network. And even most recently, we kicked off this October by celebrating Filipino American History Month with our very first virtual career panel titled “Filipinos in Leadership”. We were fortunate to be joined by over 90 registrants in the hopes of learning how to navigate the workplace as a Filipinx professional. Now while this past year has already been so much fun, we definitely don’t want to stop here. Building and growing a legacy like this is truly going to be an intergenerational effort, and with that, we need your help. Why are we raising the money? This year, FAN hopes to advance the success and pipeline of our Filipinx community by creating our very own FAN Scholarship Fund, available to both current and rising SJSU students in need. Here in Santa Clara County alone, Filipinxs make up nearly 100 thousand residents of our County’s population. In 2021, South Bay based news outlet, San Jose Spotlight, published an article that highlighted how 1 in every 5 Filipinx students dropped out of High School is Santa Clara County during the pandemic. This alarming statistic, coupled with the rising costs of higher education, was the final straw. Our community was hurting, and we had to do something. How can you help? Your donation of any amount makes a difference. Give the gift of education to our Filipinx Spartans through a gift to our FAN Scholarship Fund.

Latino Alumni Network
By Latino Alumni Network
Help support the Latino Alumni Network during this year's Day of Giving.
Help support the Latino Alumni Network during this year's Day of Giving. Latino Alumni Network The State of Latino Students at SJSU - Why Give? Did you know that San Jose State University is a Hispanic Serving Institution serving over 26% Latinos of its plus 30,000 student population? The cost of attendance at SJSU is $29,058 which is 52% of a Latinx family’s annual income! The high cost of a college education continues to rise and is a barrier for our SJSU Latinx students. In addition, Latino students face unique circumstances like family emergency situations, lack of feeling connected to campus and financial stress pushes students to work longer hours and spend less time being full time students. These circumstances extend the college experience for many, or for some are the reasons why students discontinue their education. With over 26% Latino student population, our students are the 2nd lowest retained student population. The Latino Alumni Network’s Solution - Support students with scholarships and community Established in 2011, the SJSU Latino Alumni Network exists to provide financial support and retention for Latino students, and create a community for SJSU Latino alumni and students to promote professional and personal growth. In 2018, LAN awarded its first two scholarships and has supported 12 students in total. On an average, LAN receives over 100 applications each year from qualified applicants with financial need. LAN has a five year plan in place to raise $50,000 to establish an endowment while continuing to increase the number of scholarships it awards to students each year. An endowment will allow LAN to create a legacy for future generations of SJSU Latino students. Every dollar makes a difference! In the 2022-2023 school year, the SJSU Latino Alumni Network will award even more scholarships to deserving Latino Spartans and we need your help! With your donation, LAN will be able to award up to six scholarships next year and save towards our goal of $50,000 to endow a scholarship in spring 2023. Help us support current and future generations of SJSU Latino students by making a donation today! How can you help? Your donation of any amount makes a difference. Give the gift of education to our Latino Spartans through a gift to our Legacy campaign, which benefits the SJSU Latino Alumni Network Scholarship Fund. Thank you! The impact of a college education lasts a lifetime, from personal growth to economic mobility. These benefits also impact the lives of future generations to come and uplift our Latino communities collectively.
