Graduate Excellence
Graduate Excellence
Graduate students are at the very center of Arts & Sciences. They support faculty research while conducting their own, and they teach and mentor undergraduate students. The Campaign for Graduate Excellence aims to attract the very best PhD candidates by assuring that we can compete for top talent through more competitive stipends and fellowships.
In 2023, the College Foundation set out to do what many believed was impossible: raise $150M in endowed graduate fellowships by 2030.
In just 2 years,
WE'VE RAISED OVER $100 MILLION
from 63 generous donors
Because of the early success of the Graduate Excellence Campaign, Arts & Sciences is able to:
- Compete successfully for exceptional PhD students
- Attract and retain best-in-class faculty
- Expand our impact on research and discovery and
- Enhance the undergraduate experience
