Great universities provide an environment for fulfilling human potential through inspiring critical thinking and preparing students for the future. Faculty with vision can truly make a difference in the quality of the academic experience. World class facilities provide the setting for success. The opportunities for support include all areas of our university community.

Scholarships & Fellowships
Scholarships and fellowships provide a human face to private philanthropy. Through the generosity of donors, some of whom depended on scholarship aid themselves, the recipients of scholarships and fellowships are among our most accomplished students.

Faculty
Outstanding faculty inspire students, foster and enhance strong academic programs, and serve as a key element to institutional greatness. Endowed chairs, eminent scholars and distinguished visiting professors are prestigious academic positions held by our most accomplished faculty. Providing private support for these positions means that academic excellence will be maintained.

Program Support
Support to research projects and innovative programs are at the heart of the UCF learning experience. Research opportunities, curriculum development, internships, interdisciplinary work, experiential learning and academic enrichment all require private support.

Facilities
Over the past 40 years UCF has grown to meet the needs of an increasing student population. The quality of facilities is enhanced by private contributions that serve as a statement to the pride of individuals and the endorsement by the community for the total quality of the university experience. From the Library and laboratories to the Robinson Observatory and the Nicholson School of Communication, each facility fulfills a unique purpose that helps to round-out the complete university experience.

Research
As a comprehensive university, research is conducted on an individual and collaborative basis by faculty who focus on their particular areas of academic discipline. UCF has numerous nationally and internationally recognized research institutes devoted to innovative research and development. Contributions to research can result in outcomes that improve human life and develop strategies that have universal applications.

Athletics
From baseball to volleyball, intercollegiate athletics are an important part of campus life. The mission of the Department of Athletics is to provide our student-athletes the opportunity to participate in a quality intercollegiate athletics experience that allows them to grow athletically and academically, and serves as an integral component of their total educational experience. UCF Athletics enhances the visibility of the university by serving as a portal to broaden and strengthen interest in and involvement with the university on a local, regional, and national level.

Your support of any and all of these areas is critical to the success of our university and students.
