Invest in Discovery: Support Student Success, Faculty Excellence at the College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) continues to be the heart of exploration and discovery within the University of Oregon, where students can explore a variety of studies, from Romance languages to anthropology and political science to mathematics.  

At CAS, we value the pursuit of knowledge and experiences and with your help, we can provide important resources for students to grow and thrive in our classrooms, labs, and beyond.   

This year, your gifts can support:

  • CAS’s Experiential Learning Fund: support our undergraduate students pursuing internships, research projects, and service-learning opportunities
  • CAS Undergraduate Scholarship Fund and CAS Graduate Scholarship Fund: help us support undergraduate and graduate students with merit-based scholarships
  • The Dean’s Excellence Fund: empower the college to invest in its highest priorities related to students, faculty and the future of CAS.

CAS is proud to carry on a liberal arts tradition of 150 years at the UO while adapting to prepare students for a 21st century world. Your gifts will help us provide an education for every student in the college, offering them a world of opportunity.
