Give Green Day—March 15, 2022—is one-day giving blitz that is all about Spartans and friends of Michigan State coming together to support the next generation of ambitious students.  

Having this kind of immediate and important impact is the driving force behind Give Green Day. Your support for scholarships and other programs can lighten the financial hurdles many students face and help them make the very most of their time as a student. 

Your support means the world to MSU students. Cassandra Stoner, an MSU junior who is the first in her family to attend a four-year institution, recalls the exact moment she learned who was receiving a scholarship to attend MSU. 

“It was the happiest moment of my life. The scholarship means everything to me because without it, I couldn’t have come to MSU. That gave me so many opportunities and opened so many doors. I can’t imagine not being a Spartan.”  

Here are some of the places with scholarship funds you can support on Give Green Day: 

• MSU Alumni Club Scholarships
