Helping students have unique learning opportunities

College of Arts & Sciences — Dean's Strategic Fund
Some of the most meaningful progress in a college begins with a well-timed yes. The College of Arts & Sciences Dean’s Strategic Fund provides the flexibility to act quickly on emerging ideas—whether launching a new initiative to support students, accelerating faculty-led innovation, advancing interdisciplinary research or responding to urgent challenges as they arise. This fund fuels momentum, creativity and institutional agility, ensuring that promising opportunities don’t have to wait.

College of Arts & Sciences — Student Success Fund
A student’s potential shouldn’t be limited by what they can afford outside the classroom. The College of Arts & Sciences Student Success Fund is a launchpad for Blue Hens—fueling internships, global travel, undergraduate research, peer advising and other hands-on experiences that bridge academic learning with real-world readiness. Your support ensures that all students—not just those who can afford it—gain the edge they need to lead, thrive and make their mark.

College of Arts & Sciences — Research & Discovery Fund
At the College of Arts and Sciences, research isn’t locked in a lab—it’s alive in classrooms, galleries, field sites, and community spaces. The Research & Discovery Fund empowers faculty and graduate students to pursue bold, time-sensitive and interdisciplinary questions across the arts, humanities and sciences. Whether it’s decoding brain function, exploring new forms of creative expression or modeling climate resilience, this fund provides the flexible support needed to turn breakthrough ideas into impact. Your gift fuels seed grants, graduate fellowships and faculty-student research teams—because discovery needs believers, and progress needs patrons.

College of Arts & Sciences — Faculty Excellence Fund
Behind every inspired student is a professor who pushed them, guided them or believed in them. The College of Arts & Sciences Faculty Excellence Fund honors that impact by supporting faculty development, mentorship and innovation—investing in the people who create unforgettable learning experiences. At the College of Arts & Sciences, our faculty teach every undergraduate at UD. With your gift, we can recruit, retain and celebrate the educators who inspire students across every department of the College.

College of Arts & Sciences — Scholarship Fund
Talent is everywhere—but opportunity isn’t. The College of Arts & Sciences Scholarship Fund ensures that financial need never stands in the way of a student’s education, supporting Blue Hens from all walks of life with scholarships that open doors and change trajectories. Whether helping a first-year student stay enrolled or ensuring a senior crosses the finish line, your gift turns ambition into achievement.
