At the University of Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Center for Advancement , we work to support the University of Â鶹Æƽâ°æ through engagement and philanthropy. Our team helps alumni, donors, and friends create new opportunities for students, for patients, and the world. Everyone, in every position, plays a part.
Help students fulfill their dreams
Annually, more than 4,300 students receive privately funded scholarships. That means more than 13 percent of all students receive this life-changing support.
Donor-funded scholarships give Â鶹Æƽâ°æ's first-generation students—who make up nearly a quarter of undergraduates—the chance to fulfill their dreams.
"My work helps create scholarships that give students opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise."
Kate Metcalf, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Development
You can help find new treatments and cures
Thanks to donors, we have world-class researchers working tirelessly to find treatments and cures for our largest health care challenges, including childhood disease, blindness, diabetes, and neurological diseases. Our donors help fund our top-ranked UI Stead Family Children's Hospital, allowing us to serve kids from across Â鶹Æƽâ°æ, the country, and the world—who all come here for exceptional care.
"I'm proud that my work speeds resources to our physicians and researchers, who are searching for new treatments and cures for our patients."
Sarah Russett, Health Sciences Development
