Development & Foundation

The Rogers State University Office of Development is the fund-raising arm of the institution and works to maximize the university’s resources and leverage its effectiveness through obtaining the financial support of individuals, foundations and corporations.

The Foundation and Office of Development work closely together and share a common purpose: to maximize the support of higher education.
