Private giving helps ensure that the College of Consumer and Family Sciences continues to rank among the best schools of its kind in the nation. Private gifts allow the college to do a variety of things that it might not be able to do otherwise. Gifts can be used to fund programs, scholarships, fellowships, professorships, research, renovations, and new facilities.

Gifts of all shapes and sizes are welcome. Every gift, no matter how large or small, makes an impact on our college. You may even choose to designate your gift for a specific purpose or department.
