CSU students are the future of the entertainment industry. Help the CSU Entertainment Alliance (CSUEA) give them the access they need to create a vibrant career.
The CSUEA invests in opportunities that keep our students and faculty up-to-date on the latest technology, innovations, and trends. We create programs that provide unique, real-world opportunities for learning from the very best in all fields of entertainment.
An endowment of $5 million will help us diversify the entertainment workforce by expanding our programs and finding innovative ways, including technological solutions, to best support student career development.
This fund is critical to providing real-world learning experiences with industry experts and guest lecturers, as well as workshop series and entertainment industry events.
Reaching an annual goal of an additional $40,000 will allow the CSUEA to expand free summer housing to 20 additional student interns in the Bay Area.
All donations go toward providing support and resources to students at all 23 CSU campuses. Supporters will receive recognition on the CSUEA website. If you would prefer to donate anonymously or by check, please contact us here.

“These opportunities are very difficult to come by outside of this setting and challenge students to live up to their full potential. They also form relationships with veterans and seasoned filmmakers that are invaluable as they progress in their careers.”
