Arts & Sciences and Trinity College
From the 2007-08 Giving to Duke Annual Report:
The majority of endowment support to Arts & Sciences funded need-based undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships. Included were gifts supporting students studying at the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, which is on track to become Duke's 10th school. Research grants supported the work of faculty members, including those in the Program in American Values and Institutions, and multiple corporate gifts supported an economic summit coordinated by the Duke Islamic Studies Center. Annual Fund contributions provided expendable funding for financial aid, student programs, and other immediate needs. In 2008-09, Arts & Sciences is focused on completing fund-raising for Duke's Financial Aid Initiative and building endowment for the Sanford Institute.
2007-08 Cash Total: $49.7M
Giving By Area
TRINITY COLLEGE / UNDERGRADUATE
AND GRADUATE FACULTY
Endowment gifts primarily supported undergraduate scholarships and faculty chairs, and gifts to the Trinity College Annual Fund were used to support student scholarships, programs, and a host of ongoing needs. Faculty research grants are also included in this total.
GRADUATE SCHOOL
The Graduate School provides virtually all doctoral students with 5-6 years of funding. Most gifts directed to the Graduate School supported endowed fellowships or the Graduate Annual Fund, which is also directed, in large part, to support student aid.
SANFORD INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC POLICY
The Sanford Institute is raising sufficient endowment to support its transformation into the nation's newest school of public policy. The institute is building its faculty and raising resources for student aid. Sanford is launching its own annual fund in 2008-09.
