Support JPHCOPH
Our students need your help!
If each alum and supporter gave just a bit, we could support and produce more highly trained public health professionals. Please consider a gift to the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health.
Click here to give directly to the college, one of our three centers, the CORE Lab, and other funds.
Just a few examples of how your help supports our students:
- $6,175 supports a DrPH graduate assistantship for one semester
- $3,875 supports an MPH graduate assistantship for one semester
- $1,200 pays for a graduate student academic travel grant
- $250 brings a guest speaker to campus
Gifts to the JPHCOPH are critical to our development. Private financial support provides the margin of excellence that distinguishes good universities from great ones. As a doctoral research university, Georgia Southern University is proud to be a public university. But direct public support accounts for less than half of Georgia Southern University’s annual operating budget. We rely on the generous support of our alumni, friends, and the research grant support of our faculty to make up the difference.
We have many ways to give, please consider one of these new scholarships and initiative. Or scroll down for further ways to give.

Our primary giving link highlights the following four funds; however, you can also direct your giving to one of our many other specific funds as well (see our full list below).
0762 Office of the Dean: This fund allows the college to direct funds where they are most needed. It has supported, student, faculty, and staff professional development as well as alumni events. This fund also has the potential to support undergraduate travel and research opportunities.
0798 Center for Addiction Recovery (CAR): By providing critical support to students that have completed recovery programs the center has a 90% graduation rate (one of the highest of any student group on campus) and less than a 2.5% relapse rate. This program is nearly entirely supported through foundation giving. Please consider lending your support to keep this program running and to allow for expansion.
0743 Karl E. Peace Center of Biostatistics (KEPCB): The center is a focal point for biostatistical consulting, education, and grantsmanship for the college and university.
0475 Center for Public Health Practice and Research (CPHPR): This center works directly with community health organizations and hospitals to improve the health status and quality of life for people in rural Georgia. The center builds successful partnerships between our faculty, students and the community. Note: this fund may be listed under its previous name (Center for Rural Health and Research.)
0963 JPHCOPH Core laboratory: The laboratory provides health-related research opportunities to students through classroom teaching, supports environmental community service projects, and enables cutting edge innovative fundamental and applied research in the field of environmental microbiology, chemistry and toxicology performed by the faculty and students.
In addition to our primary giving opportunities, we have many specific foundation and endowment accounts, all of which benefit the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health. To make a gift to a specific fund, scroll to the very bottom of the giving form and click on the box “Additional Comments & Processing Instructions.” Then, enter the code and name from one of the funds listed below.

Why I gave and why you should too!
“Before coming to Georgia Southern, I interviewed several other schools to see if I thought they would be a good fit. They were cordial, even friendly, and welcoming, but I felt like I was being treated as just a student, whereas here I felt like part of the institution, part of the JPHCOPH family. I wanted to support that feeling here in our college and to help it grow so that other students could have the opportunity to feel the warmth and quality of education that I felt at JPHCOPH. I hope to see the college continue to grow and expand its reach as it matures, but most of all, I hope that it continues to put students first.”
