Why should I give to SNU?
The reasons for making a gift are personal to each donor. Perhaps working with students through the years makes you want to help support scholarships through The SNU Fund. Perhaps you would like to contribute directly to an academic department or a sports team that you feel is important to support. All gifts make a difference in the lives of SNU students.
