Launching Potential,
Fueling Discovery
At Penn Arts & Sciences, we believe in the power of education to transform lives.
Whether it’s helping an undergraduate find their footing, supporting a first-generation graduate student pursuing breakthroughs, or giving a non-traditional student the chance to pursue the degree they’ve always dreamt about, we invite you to explore the most direct ways to guarantee the success of our talented scholars, regardless of their means.
Help us help them—and be a part of their success.
The Arts & Sciences Annual Fund is the most fundamental way to support every corner of our School. Donations mean immediate, unrestricted dollars for supporting financial aid, enabling innovative teaching, and funding revolutionary faculty research.
This fund provides the dean of the College with key funding to use for everything from sending portable chemistry labs to students during the pandemic to creating forward-thinking initiatives and programming. These invaluable resources allow the dean to tackle emergent challenges and spearhead new learning opportunities.
Our outstanding doctoral students engage with undergraduates, faculty, and the community, bolstering these spaces through inspired teaching and innovative thinking. This fund supports the next generation of researchers and educators as they prepare to lead us into the future.
LPS offers an Ivy League education to students all over the world, from online bachelor’s degrees to specialty certificate programs to professional master’s degrees, giving students of all ages and walks of life a springboard into their future. Each year, the LPS Discretionary Fund supports students who are working to gain the knowledge and skills to fulfill their dreams.
