СÀ¶ÊÓƵ

The СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Parent Fund gives the university the greatest flexibility to respond to the unexpected and address the changing needs of our students, faculty, and staff. The Parent Fund ensures that our students continue to have access to cutting edge technology and the unique opportunities that СÀ¶ÊÓƵ is known for providing. Support from parents is essential to attracting and retaining the most inspiring faculty who educate and mentor our students and engage them in groundbreaking research.

Unexpected financial stressors such as parental job loss, illness, or death, or other financial developments can disrupt even the most carefully laid plans. Each year, as many as 500 undergraduate students seek additional financial resources from the university after experiencing a change in their financial circumstances. СÀ¶ÊÓƵ’s Elevate Scholarship Initiative is a philanthropic effort to raise $25 million to support undergraduate students enrolled at СÀ¶ÊÓƵ. The university is matching this investment, doubling donors’ impact. The initiative will ensure more students can continue their СÀ¶ÊÓƵ experience, reach their full potential, and share their contributions as changemakers with the world.  

Part of the Change Can't Wait Campaign, Student Thriving aims to expand mental health and wellness resources for students, reimagines student spaces to enhance learning experiences, sustain distinctive student leadership opportunities, and build improvements on campus. This includes the new Student Thriving Complex, which will be the heart of campus with three vital hubs for student life. 

The Fund for Faculty, Research, and Innovation supports the work of top scholar-teachers who address urgent challenges and guide future changemakers. The fund increases the capacity of research centers, fostering collaboration and groundbreaking innovations.
