Thank you for your interest in supporting SUNY Potsdam.

Excellence at SUNY Potsdam is measured by the College's ability to transform the lives of our students through quality education. A SUNY Potsdam education not only gives students the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their chosen professions, but also strengthens their ability to think analytically.

Regardless of the size of the donation, the College's continued success depends on your generous support. By giving to the College, you help to ensure that we remain competitive and that our degree continues to be a prized credential. 

You get to decide how your gift will be used to benefit Potsdam students and faculty by designating your gift to the program of your choice.

Some of the greatest needs of the College and students include:

Enhanced Learning and Teaching

  • Technology for smart classrooms
  • Updated lab supplies
  • Leadership, internship and service-learning opportunities

Research and Travel Opportunities

  • Participation in professional conferences
  • Study abroad

Scholarship Support

  • Help make a Potsdam education possible for those who otherwise could not afford it

These are only some of the possibilities. Your gift affords the College the ability to respond to the ever growing and changing needs of our students.
