OSU Masthead 2

In Memory / In Honor

In the spirit of true Cowboy generosity, many donors establish gifts to honor a loved one, a special mentor, a professor or friend. These unique gifts not only provide essential support for OSU, but also ensure the honorees’ legacy will endure at Oklahoma State.

Memorial Gifts

Memorial gifts ensure a person’s legacy will endure at Oklahoma State University. The OSU Foundation is honored to help families establish opportunities to pay tribute to their loved one.

Family members, friends and even strangers may contribute to a memorial fund following the death of a loved one. The individual’s family often chooses to establish a memorial scholarship or faculty position to celebrate his or her life and love of OSU. Doing so guarantees that future generations of Cowboys will hear this individual’s story and be inspired by their passion for Oklahoma State.

The OSU Foundation will provide the family with a list of contributors to the memorial fund as well as a list of the recipients who benefit from these gifts.

Honorary Gifts

Honorary gifts celebrate an individual’s connection to OSU.

Many alumni groups, families and individuals choose to create an endowment or make a one-time gift in honor of a respected mentor or friend. These donations pay tribute to influential people who serve as an inspiration to the rest of the OSU community.

The OSU Foundation will provide the individual being honored with a list of contributors, as well as a list of recipients who benefit from these gifts.
