About

Make an impact at the heart of UConn.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences prepares students to think critically, discover their potential, and lead in a changing world. As UConn’s largest and most academically diverse college, CLAS supports every undergraduate student and drives discovery across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

Our faculty are addressing the issues shaping the future — from artificial intelligence and public health to climate change, policy, and human culture — while equipping students with the skills to succeed in their careers and beyond.

Your gift makes this work possible.

You can support one of these College priorities by clicking the “Give Now” button on this page and selecting your preferred fund from the dropdown menu:

  • CLAS Undergraduate Scholarships: Help students access a dynamic liberal arts education and pursue their goals.
  • CLAS Graduate Fellowships: Support emerging scholars as they develop new ideas and contribute to the classroom.
  • CLAS Dean’s Fund: Provide flexible resources for student experiences, faculty research, visiting scholars, and more.
  • Dean's Advisory Board Fund: Support student success and board-driven initiatives that deepen alumni engagement.

You can also support a specific project from the list below that matters most to you.

Please watch this message from Robert Makuch, UConn Foundation Board Member and CLAS Mathematics alumnus '72, as he shares why giving back matters and how your support creates meaningful impact.

No matter where you choose to give, your support helps empower students, advance research, and shape what comes next for UConn's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
