The Black Alumni Fund plays a vital role in expanding opportunities, resources, and support for African American students at Northwest Missouri State University. Contributions help provide scholarships, emergency need support, leadership development experiences, mentoring opportunities, and programs that foster student success, belonging, and achievement. As part of our chapter’s commitment to investing in future generations, we have established a goal of raising $10,000 annually to ensure Black students have the support they need to thrive academically, professionally, and personally. Every gift, regardless of size, helps create a lasting impact and strengthens the legacy of excellence for current and future Bearcats.
