Please join the Metro State University Foundation for breakfast to raise funds for student scholarships.
The Metro State Foundation welcomes guests to attend our Rise to Shine breakfast event to learn more about Metro State University and raise funds for student scholarships.

Alumni, faculty, students, and President Ginny Arthur will highlight the critical need to support students financially in their educational journey. Generous sponsorships from local companies and individuals underwrite the program, ensuring every dollar raised will go to student scholarships.

The Metro State University Foundation works to secure a vibrant future for our university and the students who come through our doors. Generating public awareness, along with private support, the foundation seeks to increase endowments and other support from alumni, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations, and friends for scholarships and other forms of support for Metro State University and its students.
