Why give to the College of the Environment?
At the College of the Environment, we address today’s environmental challenges while preparing tomorrow’s interdisciplinary problem solvers. Through innovative educational programs, hands-on research, and strong faculty-student collaboration, we empower students to forge creative, fulfilling careers in a rapidly changing world. Since 1969, we have earned national and international recognition for our practical, collaborative approach to finding real-world environmental solutions. Our dynamic curriculum offers degrees across Environmental Sciences, Environmental Studies, and Urban and Environmental Planning & Policy, ensuring our graduates are ready to lead.
Our Priority: Access for All
This year, our top goal is to raise $20,000 for scholarships that open doors for first-generation students and those facing significant financial need. Across higher education, too many talented students are turning away from college due to concerns about debt, while others who enroll struggle with food and housing insecurity that can impede their education.
We believe that solving environmental problems requires the broadest possible range of perspectives. That’s why we are committed to making need-based scholarships our #1 fundraising priority — so that no promising student is forced to set aside their dream of a career in environmental leadership.
