Seattle University Fund
The Seattle University Fund provides flexible, unrestricted support that helps meet the most urgent needs of students and campus life.
Fueling Possibility. Supporting Every Redhawk.
The Seattle University Fund is one of the most powerful ways you can support our students, faculty and staff. As SU's most flexible source of funding, it delivers critical, immediate resources that meet the evolving needs of our campus community every single day.
More than 30 percent of the Seattle University Fund supports need-based scholarships, helping keep an SU education affordable and within reach for students who might not otherwise be able to attend. Today, 67 percent of Seattle University students demonstrate financial need.
Another third of the fund helps maintain and improve the First Hill campus, including routine upkeep, emergency repairs and renovations to aging facilities. The remaining portion of the fund strengthens the student experience and academic instruction by supporting curriculum, faculty excellence and student well-being programs across campus.

WHY IT MATTERS
Unlike restricted gifts, the Seattle University Fund is unrestricted, meaning it can be used where needed most. That includes:
- Scholarships
- Emergency financial support for students
- Investments in classroom technology
- Wellness and mental health resources
- Faculty-led research and innovation
- Career development programs
- Initiatives that promote diversity, inclusion, and justice
This kind of flexible funding allows SU to adapt quickly and strategically, especially in times of change or challenge.
