Opportunities for Giving

Private support is very important to the Eberly College of Science in a wide variety of ways. Steadily dwindling state appropriations (for the 2004-05 academic year, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania appropriations to Penn State comprise 11.4 percent of the University's annual budget) create a critical need for private funds to support scholarships, programs, facilities, faculty, and outreach. We are infinitely grateful to the many wonderful alumni and friends of the college who have made gifts and created endowments to support the mission of the Eberly College of Science.

Know that the staff of the Office of Alumni Relations and Development in the Eberly College of Science stands ready to answer any questions you may have about giving to the college. We can help with planned gifts and bequests, creating an endowment, or making a gift online.
