Supports NSU Students
Norfolk State University Foundation provides substantial support to students at Norfolk State through over 350 endowments, offering scholarships across various academic disciplines. Over the last three years, the foundation consistently awarded over $3.5 million in endowed and non-endowed scholarships. Additionally, the Foundation facilitates internship opportunities and has received grants to assist students undertaking unpaid internships, thereby enhancing their academic and professional growth. NSUF plays a crucial role in supporting student success by making student financial, academic, and personal needs a priority. Our goal is to continue to provide opportunities for the students at NSU to thrive through experiential learning and professional development.

Supports The University
Norfolk State University Foundation proudly supports and aligns with the mission and strategic plan for Norfolk State University. By prudently investing and managing a strong financial portfolio over $90M, NSUF is able to support NSU with stable funding which can be used to improve academic programs, research initiatives, scholarships, and campus improvements. This financial support helps the university attract top faculty, students, and researchers, and enhances its overall reputation and competitiveness. The foundation also partners with the University for real estate acquisitions that will expand the NSU footprint in the City of Norfolk and help create more conducive living and learning environments for our students.

Supports Community
Norfolk State University Foundation believes that investing time in cultivating our donors and community leaders is crucial for establishing and maintaining successful partnerships to support Norfolk State University. Our local community plays an active role in supporting NSU beyond financial contributions—such as volunteering, serving on advisory boards, participating in fundraising campaigns, and advocating for the university’s priorities. With this active community engagement, NSUF sponsors events like The Taste of NSU and NSUF 5K to encourage continued engagement and investment in NSU student initiatives. Our goal is to foster a culture of philanthropy to demonstrate the value of our partnership with the Norfolk community.
