Support the College
Join Us in Building a Healthier Future
At Sam Houston State University’s College of Health Sciences (COHS), we prepare students to become the compassionate professionals our communities depend on—nurses, dietitians, public health specialists, healthcare administrators, educators, social workers, and so many others who touch lives every day.
Whether they’re promoting wellness in local neighborhoods, guiding patients through recovery, managing health systems, or creating access to nutritious food and professional opportunities, our students and graduates are changing lives across Texas and beyond.
Your support makes their journey possible.
Why Give to COHS?
Your gift to the College of Health Sciences helps break down barriers for students driven to serve others. Every dollar helps provide scholarships, support vital resources like the SHSU Food Pantry, Tripod’s Thrift, and the Reba Bock Career Closet, and strengthens academic programs that serve the community.
With nearly $100,000 awarded through 49 scholarship opportunities annually, we are proud of the support we provide. But the need is growing. With your help, we can expand access, reduce student debt, and ensure more students have the opportunity to reach their goals—regardless of financial background.
COHS in Action
Our impact goes far beyond the classroom:
- SHSU Food Pantry: Tackling food insecurity with dignity, education, and heart. Through partnerships with the Houston Food Bank and the American Heart Association, we provide fresh, nutritious food to students while promoting long-term wellness.
- Tripod’s Thrift & Reba Bock Career Closet: Offering students no-cost access to clothing, hygiene products, school supplies, and professional attire. Every suit, blouse, or resume folder helps a student walk into an interview with confidence.
- Community Outreach & Health Initiatives: COHS students and faculty are deeply engaged in real-world work that supports local and regional health—from internships and service-learning to research projects that address public health challenges.
Giving Is Easy — And Impactful
Together, we can remove barriers and open doors for students committed to health, healing, and human services. From the frontlines of healthcare to community wellness programs, our students carry the mission of the College of Health Sciences into the world—and your generosity walks beside them.
