Make the Ball State Difference

Ball State has embarked on an ambitious $200 million capital campaign. Learn more.

Generous support from alumni and friends like you helps us provide our students with the best professors, facilities and technology, and immersive learning experiences to create a rewarding and fulfilling college career.

We invite you to participate in our Ball State Bold: Investing in the Future capital campaign, which will help us continue to provide transformative educational experiences , improve our vibrant campus, and invest in the intellectually curious.

In challenging economic times, your gift is extremely important. You can give to your favorite college, academic department, program, or the
Ball State Fund to support the university’s greatest needs.

You have several opportunities. Here are just a few examples:

• Bold Scholarships to attract high-ability students

• Floyd Leadership Scholarships to reward talented minority students and enhance our vibrant, diverse campus

• The Glick Center for Glass, the first in Indiana to provide bachelor and master of fine arts degree programs in glass art.

• Renovations to the planetarium and construction of a new greenhouse to enhance science education

• Increasing the amount of gallery space in the Ball State Museum of Art  to house the majority of David Owsley’s art collection

With several exciting projects going on, you can see that your gift will enhance student experiences at Ball State. Your support will help us provide bright, curious students with challenging programs and life-changing opportunities that prepare them not only for real-world success but also to make a difference in communities across the nation and around the world.

If you are an alum, you can make your gift go farther. We will receive $1 million from an anonymous alumnus donor if we grow the number of alumni donors each year, culminating at 21,000 in 2011. Regardless of the amount, your annual gifts are appreciated and will help us toward meeting that challenge.
