Endowed Scholarships . Undergraduate scholarships enable us to compete with other excellent universities for the most gifted students. For many outstanding students, scholarships make the university experience possible. A scholarship endowment will ensure that some of the brightest young men and women pursue their educational ambitions in the College for many years to come. Larger gifts can provide an even more substantial level of student support.
Graduate students play an invaluable role in our research endeavors.
Fellowships help our graduate students defray tuition and living expenses, freeing them to concentrate on their studies rather than pursuing other means of support. As such, fellowships are the most effective means of competing for the very best graduate scholars from around the world. The strength of the College is a reflection of our faculty. To further strengthen the College, it is imperative that we support and retain our outstanding faculty and recruit the most talented scholars to our departments. Endowed chairs and professorships will enable us to build an even more distinguished faculty that will contribute immeasurably to the development of our students through their teaching and mentoring and to the welfare of our region and nation through their research and service.
