Alumni Giving
There are many ways for you to support ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State and invest in our future Racers. The ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State Alumni Association relies upon alumni and friends to help us grow our programs. And, thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends just like you, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State was able to surpass our ambitious $100 million goal in the historic Be Bold: Forever Blue & Gold Centennial Campaign in 2025.
A few ways you can support the Racer Alumni family are listed below, but for a complete list of opportunities to give back to your alma mater, visit the Office of Development.
Racer Traditions Fund
The ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵAA Racer Traditions fund was created to support ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State’s beloved campus traditions and create space for potential new ones. As alumni, we are the keepers of our alma mater’s most treasured traditions. By making a gift to the Racer Traditions Fund, you provide vital funding that allows the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵAA to provide, preserve and protect the things that make ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State University so special and unique.
ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵAA Membership
Annual and Lifetime members of the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State University Alumni Association make it possible for the Office of Alumni Relations to offer activities and programs that advance the mission of our alma mater, including pre-game parties, watch parties and tailgates, Homecoming, Tent City, Distinguished Alumni and other recognitions, the Blue & Gold Alumni Magazine and the email and social media content you’ve come to expect and enjoy
Legacy Scholarships
Contributions to Alumni Legacy Funds help the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵAA provide scholarships for incoming legacy freshmen and transfer students attending ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State University. Together, we are carrying on the Racer tradition across the generations.
Legacy Tuition Grant
Alumni know that students at ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State University will receive a life-changing, high-impact, total college experience as they pursue success, and are supported throughout their journey by a special community that includes dedicated faculty and staff.

ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Specialty KY License Plate
Registered Kentucky drivers can provide vital scholarship funding to incoming and current ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State students, while also displaying their Racer Pride, by purchasing a specialty ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State University license plate. ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State plates can be purchased at your local County Clerk’s Office and easily renewed online. A portion of each purchase and renewal fee goes directly to scholarships for ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State students, generating an average of more than $20,000 annually.
