Helping students have unique learning opportunities
CAS Dean's Innovation Fund
Some of the most exciting breakthroughs in the College start with a simple yes–that’s what the CAS Dean’s Innovation Fund provides. This fund gives the Dean the flexibility to respond to emerging opportunities, launch new initiatives and support cross-cutting priorities that shape the future of the College. From student success pilots to strategic faculty recruitment, your gift powers high-impact ideas before they become high-cost needs.
CAS Student Success Fund
A student’s potential shouldn’t be limited by what they can afford outside the classroom. The CAS 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.
CAS 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.
CAS Faculty Excellence Fund
Behind every inspired student is a professor who pushed them, guided them, or believed in them. The CAS Faculty Excellence Fund honors that impact by supporting faculty development, mentorship, and innovation—investing in the people who create unforgettable learning experiences. At CAS, 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.
CAS College Scholarship Fund
Talent is everywhere—but opportunity isn’t. The CAS College 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.
