Donors may designate their gift to an academic area, program, project, or field of study. Academic program support is needed to strengthen and enhance teaching and learning opportunities for students and faculty. Gifts provide funding for a number of needs, such as visiting instructors and/or lecturers, travel expenses for students and faculty to attend regional and national academic conferences, student participation in community service internships, or faculty participation in workshops to learn new teaching methods.

Gift amount
There is no minimum amount required for a donation designated for a specific Academic Program.
$50,000 is the minimum gift amount to establish an endowed academic program fund.

Naming Opportunities
Endowed academic funds may be named in honor of the Donors, or a name they designate, for example, in memory or in honor of loved ones.
