Alumni Giving
There are many ways for you to support 911±¬ÁÏÍø and invest in our future Racers. The 911±¬ÁÏÍø 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 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s 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 911±¬ÁÏÍø University so special and unique.

MSU Specialty KY License Plate
Registered Kentucky drivers can provide vital scholarship funding to incoming and current 911±¬ÁÏÍø students, while also displaying their Racer Pride, by purchasing a specialty 911±¬ÁÏÍø University license plate. 911±¬ÁÏÍø 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 911±¬ÁÏÍø students, generating an average of more than $20,000 annually.
