Legacy Campaign Goals Endowed Scholarships. Because the University is committed to the principle that access to education should not be restricted by cost, undergraduate scholarships are a high priority for the Campaign. To ensure that outstanding and deserving students continue to benefit from our high-quality educational programs for many years to come, we must continue to build our endowment for scholarships. Scholarships also enable us to compete with other excellent institutions for the most gifted students nationwide.
Larger gifts can provide an even more substantial level of student support.
The strength of the College is a reflection of our faculty. If we are to attract and retain the best scholars and educators in the world, we must be able to recognize and reward their achievements. Graduate students are the leaders of tomorrow. An investment in graduate education is an investment in the cultural, intellectual, scientific, and artistic future of our region and nation. Fellowships free our graduate students to concentrate on their studies and are therefore the most effective means of recruiting and retaining the very best graduate scholars from around the world.
