Greetings!

 

With less than one month remaining in the University's fiscal year, we continue to need your support. If you haven't made a gift to the University's Annual Fund you, still have a chance to do so and help Shaw reach its 26% alumni participation goal.This isn't about chasing a percentage. It's about ensuring that Shaw University remains a one-of-a kind institution that continues to offer a world-class education to our most deserving students - many of whom would not enroll without financial aid assistance. Click on the "Make A Donation" link below to investment in the lives of our students.

 

We continue to need your assistance in recruiting the best and brightest students to attend Shaw University. How can you help? You can help by attending a college fair, spreading the word at your church or hosting a recruitment event through your chapter. If you live in Raleigh, you can visit our admissions office to help make phone calls to admitted students, encouraging them to enroll. Our admissions staff is ready and willing to assist you with all of your recruitment needs. Call the staff today at 1-800-214-6683 to see how you can help.

 

As always, we welcome your comments on how we can continue to improve the University. Thank you for all you do!
