Alumni Giving
There are many ways for you to support Âé¶¹Éç and invest in our future Racers. The Âé¶¹Éç Alumni Association relies upon alumni and friends to help us grow our programs. And, thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends just like you, Murray State was able to surpass our ambitious $100 million goal in the historic Be Bold: Forever Blue & Gold Centennial Campaign in 2025.
A few ways you can support the Racer Alumni family are listed below, but for a complete list of opportunities to give back to your alma mater, visit the Office of Development.
Racer Traditions Fund
The MSUAA Racer Traditions fund was created to support Âé¶¹Éç’s beloved campus traditions and create space for potential new ones. As alumni, we are the keepers of our alma mater’s most treasured traditions. By making a gift to the Racer Traditions Fund, you provide vital funding that allows the MSUAA to provide, preserve and protect the things that make Âé¶¹Éç so special and unique.
MSUAA Membership
Annual and Lifetime members of the Âé¶¹Éç Alumni Association make it possible for the Office of Alumni Relations to offer activities and programs that advance the mission of our alma mater, including pre-game parties, watch parties and tailgates, Homecoming, Tent City, Distinguished Alumni and other recognitions, the Blue & Gold Alumni Magazine and the email and social media content you’ve come to expect and enjoy
Legacy Scholarships
Contributions to Alumni Legacy Funds help the MSUAA provide scholarships for incoming legacy freshmen and transfer students attending Âé¶¹Éç. Together, we are carrying on the Racer tradition across the generations.
Legacy Tuition Grant
Alumni know that students at Âé¶¹Éç will receive a life-changing, high-impact, total college experience as they pursue success, and are supported throughout their journey by a special community that includes dedicated faculty and staff. The Âé¶¹Éç Alumni Legacy Tuition Grant provides in-state tuition to eligible out-of-state undergraduate children and grandchildren of Âé¶¹Éç graduates.*
*Discount, qualifications and program specifics are subject to change by approval of the Âé¶¹Éç Board of Regents.
MSU Specialty KY License Plate
Registered Kentucky drivers can provide vital scholarship funding to incoming and current Âé¶¹Éç students, while also displaying their Racer Pride, by purchasing a specialty Âé¶¹Éç license plate. Âé¶¹Éç plates can be purchased at your local County Clerk’s Office and easily renewed online. A portion of each purchase and renewal fee goes directly to scholarships for Âé¶¹Éç students, generating an average of more than $20,000 annually.
Alumni Association Commemorative Bricks
Help commemorate your days at Âé¶¹Éç by leaving a message for posterity and help support your Alumni Center by personalizing a brick in the Carter Plaza.
