Schools, Centers, and Institutes

Gifts to schools, colleges, and centers and institutes allow donors to support programs for which they have a strong allegiance. USF students and faculty in these programs receive direct and immediate benefit from such gifts. Gifts provide funding for important needs throughout campus, such as:

• Academic advising
  
  
• Recruiting and supporting excellent faculty
  
  
• Financial support for high-achieving students in need through thesis research stipends and conference travel grants
  
  
• Seed funding for innovative interdisciplinary research projects
  
  
• Lectures and conferences that bring noted scientists, leaders, writers, artists, and poets to campus
  
  
• Technology upgrades in classrooms and laboratories
