Give to Support CSN Students
Your tax-deductible gift to the CSN Foundation supports student scholarships, best and brightest faculty and staff, and academic programs in and out of the classroom.
CSN Alumni
Every year, more than 3,600 students graduate from CSN. We are so proud of their accomplishments. One of every 82 people in Southern Nevada is part of the CSN family. The CSN Alumni Network provides connections between graduates, CSN, and our community.
Spirit of CSN Grant Award
The Spirit of CSN Grant Award recognizes excellence in educational opportunities and programs in and out of the classroom. Annual grants up to $10,000 are awarded based on proposals reviewed by a committee representing CSN faculty, staff, and students.
