Giving to KU-MSP
"I feel that programs like this help to ensure that students of color are invested in the University and feel like the University is investing in them and their success." -- Jasmin
The KU Multicultural Scholars Program remains dedicated to preparing the next generation of diverse leaders who represent various academic areas of preparation. The KU-MSP relies solely on private support to strengthen its reputation and advance its mission. Since the KU-MSP was established, there have been nearly 150 scholars who have graduated and the level of interest remains high. Therefore, we must rely ever more heavily on the generosity of alumni, friends, firms and corporations. These donors provide the support necessary for a positive future and the continued growth of our programs.
To contribute to the KU-MSP unrestricted fund or to add to or establish your own named, endowed fund to support a specific academic program, a specific project or purpose you designate, please contact Fred Rodriguez, Executive Director, at (785) 864-9655 or fredrod@ku.edu.
