605 Day

605 Day of Giving: A Celebration of Community and Education

In South Dakota, we are bound together by more than just a shared geography—we are united by a single area code, 605, a symbol of our close-knit communities, unwavering spirit, and deep-rooted pride. On June 5th, we come together to celebrate this spirit through the 605 Day of Giving, a day when all six of South Dakota’s public universities unite with one purpose: to raise funds for scholarships, empowering students to pursue their dreams of higher education right here at home.

This special day is an opportunity for alumni, students, parents, and supporters from across the state and beyond to show their support for the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators. Every dollar given goes directly toward scholarships, ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of a quality education for South Dakota’s students.
