The Impact of Your Gift
The C.H. Lute School of Business develops thought and management leaders through teamwork and experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Building on the school’s capacity, the Lute School of Business will strengthen areas within the university, including tech-based majors and healthcare. This allows SSU to continue its existence as a regional exemplar relevant in the global marketplace.
Scholarships
SSU remains steadfast in its commitment to lowering the cost of attendance through merit-based financial aid and Development Foundation scholarships. Innovative aid programs such as the Free Tuition program have opened doors for qualified students. Dedicated Lute School of Business scholarships will strengthen our ability to recruit and retain top students to the school.
School Development
Continued development of programs (MBA, etc.) and increased delivery (hybrid, fully online, and in-person) provides both quality of education and access.
Faculty Investment
Our most significant investment is in human capital - our students and our faculty. The investment we make in faculty raises the profile of the C.H. Lute School of Business, spurs research, and provides the advanced level of leadership, management, and innovative education that will be the hallmark of the business programs at SSU.
