The Campaign for Frostburg State University Continues to Break Records
For the third year in a row, FSU has set a new annual total fundraising record, raising over $5.3 million during FY24, which ended on June 30, exceeding last year's record of just over $4.6 million. The campaign has now reached nearly $28.4 million. Money raised in the campaign is used to support a number of campus priorities, including scholarships for deserving students.
Read more about the campaign goals.
This upcoming academic year, the FSU Foundation will award approximately $1.4 million in scholarships, which would not be possible without the support of so many of our alumni and other friends of the University. "We sincerely appreciate the support from all of those individuals and companies who believe in the University's mission and want to help the students who attend FSU," said John Short, vice president for University Advancement.
The campaign will continue through Dec. 31, 2025, so there is still time for YOU to make a first, or additional, contribution to help forge the future of the University, its students and the community. Gifts of all sizes add up and make a difference.

Forging Futures: The Campaign for Frostburg State University
Three themes: Students, the University and the Region.
Forge the Future of Our Students
by continuing to provide a transformational education experience to those who attend.
Forge the Future of the University
as we continue to evolve from the school that coal miners first envisioned to prepare teachers – in the late 1890s – to today and beyond as a regional comprehensive university.
Forge the Future of the Region
as a major economic driver and cultural hub for a dynamic rural region.
Beyond these themes are six priorities for funding.
The Annual Fund
Support for the Annual Fund helps to sustain the unique opportunities and enduring excellence that are part of an FSU education.
Increasing Enrollment
Enrollment, important to the financial foundation of the University, will be aided by the scholarships and grants Frostburg State University needs to place the opportunity for higher education within reach of all.
Student Success
Supporting initiatives for student success will help enhance opportunities for the learning experiences and future success of our students across more than 100 areas of study.
Student Experience
Supporting the student experience will help provide resources that lead to opportunities for student growth, such as professional development, internships, research, study abroad and athletics.
Regional Outreach
Support for regional outreach ensures that FSU can continue to create partnerships within the region to drive economic and educational development.
Capital Needs
Support for capital needs funds projects that continue to improve our campus and enhance our students’ lives, such as a multicultural center, collaborative classrooms and athletics facilities.
