Our Programs

The David S. Saurman Provocative Lecture Series

A lecture series open to the public that invites attendees to consider intellectual arguments on controversial topics, generally from an economics perspective.

Student Scholarship Programs

Many of our undergraduate and graduate students have difficulty making ends meet in pricey Silicon Valley. Your donations allow students the ability to spend less time in the workplace, and more time at their studies, increasing their likelihood of academic success. We have scholarships based both on need and on merit. 

San José State University Foundation is a nonprofit, educational organization, exempt from federal taxation under section 501(c)(3). Contributions to the Department of Economics through the Foundation are therefore tax-deductible.
