USI Foundation

Charitable Giving

From its earliest stage of planning in the early 1960s, community leaders have supported the University by providing a solid base for its present success and future growth. That community support continues today, as evidenced by continued strong giving to a vibrant USI Foundation, and a solid reputation in the state legislature.

The USI Foundation has awarded $49.5 million dollars in scholarships to bright and deserving USI students since 1986 through scholarships established by University friends and alumni.

Bee Campus USA Affiliate 

The University of Southern Indiana proudly participates in the Bee Campus USA program, an initiative by the Xerces Society aimed at fostering community efforts to protect native pollinators. These pollinators are vital to ecosystems, supporting plant reproduction and biodiversity. They include a range of species, such as birds, butterflies, beetles, moths, flies, and most notably, bees. Increasing native plant species helps boost native pollinator populations, enhancing the overall health of the USI campus ecosystem.
