Ways to Give

Tribute Gifts

Making a gift in honor or in memory of someone special is a meaningful way to celebrate their life and legacy while supporting Northwest State students. Whether you’re recognizing a loved one, a mentor, or someone who made a lasting impact, your tribute gift helps continue their influence through education. When you make your donation, simply indicate the name of the person you wish to honor or remember. We’re grateful to help you celebrate those who’ve inspired you by turning their legacy into opportunity for others.
To learn more about tribute gifts, contact the NSCC Foundation.
