Parents and Families

Your support enhances students’ whole OSU experience. The Parent and Family Fund strengthens connections between the university and students’ immediate, extended and chosen family members, creating opportunities for families to be well-informed and actively involved in ways that improve student success and retention.

Your Give Orange gift helps build a thriving, supportive extended Cowboy community that supports, challenges and empowers students to learn and develop both in and out of the classroom. Join the Cowboy families in making a lasting impact on student success!
