About Athenian Giving Day

Athenian Giving Day was established to bring alumni, faculty, staff, and friends together to make a direct impact on our students. From our facilities and curriculum to our mission and goals, every aspect of our campus thrives because of the generosity of private donations. 

Our students embark on their success stories here, benefiting from an outstanding education delivered by exceptional faculty at an affordable cost. The generosity of Athens State University Foundation supporters directly funds scholarships and infrastructure, empowering students to begin their journeys with confidence and opportunity.

Join us in our 24-hour effort and contribute to the continued success of this great institution. Together, we can shape futures and build a legacy of excellence. Onward Ever!
