Learn more about your impact
When you make a gift to the Shahin and Vjollca Berisha Fund, you support the advancement of Albanian and, specially, Kosovo studies at ASU. Your generosity enables us to maintain and expand the partnership between ASU and the University of Pristina in Kosovo and provide scholarship support to students studying the Albanian language in the ASU Melikian Center's Critical Languages Institute.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
