Talented graduate students propel the frontier of discovery and innovation, fostering faculty development and recruitment, securing critical grant funding and academic acclaim. Witness their lasting impact on undergraduate education and society.
In partnership with UVA leadership and the College Foundation, the Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is dedicated to elevating graduate education, fostering transformative experiences, and nurturing a culture of philanthropy to propel UVA to the forefront of public universities.
Our commitment extends beyond academic pursuits to enriching student life. Through the Campaign for Graduate Excellence launched in April 2023, we bolstered support for graduate students, increasing stipends by 25% and enhancing student well-being. Yet, there's more to achieve.
Building on our progress, we aim to raise $150 million to expand and sustain graduate fellowships, engaging donors in our vision. Faculty insights are paramount in shaping future investments to continuously enhance our graduate programs.
