Arts & Sciences Funding Priorities

Your support of the Arts & Sciences Annual Fund strengthens and elevates the role of Arts & Sciences as a centerpiece of critical thinking and creative problem solving. Annual Fund support furthers these strategic funding priorities, as well as other needs of academic departments and programs.

  • Student Success

    Student success is our highest priority. We are committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive environment where every student can thrive—academically, personally and professionally. From first-year advising to career exploration, research to internships, we help students turn passion into purpose.

  • Democracy & Civic Engagement

    At the heart of a thriving democracy is an informed, engaged public. Through disciplines in Arts & Sciences as well as partnerships across campus and in the community, we prepare students to lead, think critically and uphold democratic values in a complex world.

  • Arts Innovation & Leadership

    The arts are a powerful force for innovation, leadership and community. With the launch of William & Mary’s new Office of the Arts, we are expanding opportunities for students to lead, create and collaborate across disciplines. From performance and production to arts entrepreneurship and civic engagement, Arts & Sciences is preparing students to shape the future of the arts—on campus and far beyond.

  • Excellence in Teaching & Research

    Excellence in teaching and research is the foundation of a William & Mary education. Our faculty are leaders in their fields who mentor students through discovery and inquiry. With your support, we invest in the people, resources and innovation that fuel world-class scholarship and transformative learning. This year, this includes the Summer Scholars Fund.
