NASPA Foundation

The NASPA Foundation supports student affairs professionals by conferring and financially supporting scholarships, Innovation Grants, research grants, and recognition awards. When donors give back to the NASPA Foundation, they connect the past and present to the future and infuse a spirit of gratitude and giving among NASPA’s membership.
