Emory Day of Giving 2021 has ended, but you can still support Emory by clicking here.
College of Arts and Sciences

Every gift to Emory College matters. Whether it is your first gift or the one that defines your legacy, it is significant to the College. Alumni giving participation contributes to how Emory is measured in national rankings and signals confidence in the College. Gifts like yours provide scholarships, enhance the student experience, and support our path-breaking faculty.

We can’t fulfill our ambitions for the future without your support.

For Emory Day of Giving, we are highlighting these giving opportunities:

  • Gifts to the Emory College Fund for Excellence support scholarships, faculty and student research, and the academic programming that creates an unparalleled liberal arts education. 
  • Supporting Emory College Scholarships helps award need-based or merit scholarships to students at any college standing. This fund is critically important during the pandemic as it is used to provide emergency support to students independent of their financial aid. Emory College Scholarships continue to create accessible world-class opportunities for our students.
  • The Student Hardship Fund provides life-changing financial assistance to Emory students in need due to a crisis or catastrophic event. A committee of student leaders and representatives from the Office of Financial Aid grant financial awards through a rolling application process. All students, regardless of school affiliation, can apply to the Student Hardship Fund.
