Founded in 1743, the University of Delaware exists to cultivate learning, develop knowledge, and foster the free exchange of ideas. State-assisted yet privately governed, the University receives less than 20% of its operating budget from the State of Delaware.

Gifts from individuals, companies, and foundations provide the College of Arts & Sciences with the necessary resources to assure the vitality and growth of our educational and research programs and to support our goal of transforming the lives of our students.

Your gift may be designated to the department of your choice with the confidence that it will be used for the purpose you intended. In continuing our tradition of excellence in teaching and research, the College has identified specific funding objectives:

• Endowed Professorships and Endowed Chairs to attract and retain the best and the brightest faculty, particularly in strategic areas where we already excel, such as cardiovascular research, neuroscience, and material culture;

• Ongoing and endowed graduate fellowships tailored to first-year students;

• Ongoing and endowed undergraduate scholarships to attract a diverse group of the best and brightest students and to enable them to work in global, environmental, energy, and other important areas;

• Unrestricted support to meet the ongoing and emerging initiatives of the College of Arts & Sciences.
