It’s hard to believe it’s been more than 50 years since the Wright State University Alumni Association was founded. Over the past five decades, we have been proudly committed to supporting our alma mater, keeping our alumni connected, and providing scholarships to hundreds of Wright State students.

We hope you choose to support Wright State students through your gifts to any (or all) of these Alumni Association scholarship funds.
