Pioneer Parent Fund

GIVE Make a gift to Alfred State

We are grateful that our students chose Alfred State. Our students receive an exceptional academic experience. However, their experience and life-long lessons can go from exceptional to life-changing with the help of the Alfred State Pioneer Parent Fund.

What do gifts to the Pioneer Parent Fund support?

National Competitions

It is all hands-on, and our students learn to be innovative, be creative, and apply skills readily so that they can “Hit the Ground Running!”

Civic Engagement and Student Leadership Programs
