Corporate and Foundation Relations

Corporate and Foundation Relations secures philanthropic support by fostering relationships with corporations and private foundations to provide education that can build careers, advance professions, and empower lives.

The generosity of these donors profoundly impacts student success and improves local communities through gifts of scholarships, capital investments, program support, in-kind donations of equipment and software, event sponsorships, and matching gifts.

Thank you for your generous donation to the Thomas Edison State University Military Scholarship fund. My veteran’s educational benefits were exhausted decades ago, so this scholarship helps me continue my undergraduate education without adding to the sizable student loan debt I have accumulated over the years. With at least two more years of study before completing my degree, your contribution is very much appreciated."

Stephen Shamy
