Social Impressions
Across our digital community

Our students shared throughout the campaign how scholarships, mentorship, and academic programs shaped their university experience. The $42,469 raised will directly support these same opportunities—funding scholarships, academic resources, hands-on learning, and athletic initiatives. Together, our community created opportunities that prepare Warriors for success during and after their time at ESU.

Day 1

Warrior Fund and Academics

Supporting areas of greatest need, scholarships and academic programs.

Favor Toby
Class of 2026 "You don't realize how many people you have around you until you need them. That's when you see your village."

Jeremiah Derival
Class of 2028 "Someone I've never met is giving me the scholarship to fulfill my dream of being a teacher and educate the youth."

Day 2

Athletics

Support ESU student athletes and competitive excellence.

Delaney Ridgell
Class of 2026 "Every dollar that helped me get through undergrad is helping me move toward my future."

Nasir Griffin
Class of 2026 "Somebody else is investing in me. I would be doing them a disservice if I'm not giving them my all."
