The Graduate School's Dean's Excellence Fund
Donating to the Dean’s Excellence Funds allows individual colleges access to funds that directly and immediately impact their graduate students and programs beyond public funding. These donations ensure support for the areas most needed within each college; student scholarships, the recruitment and retention of key faculty, research, classroom technology, and much more. Your donation to the Dean’s Excellence Fund provides resources with few restrictions.
"Our graduate students are making a difference every day! Through presenting their unique research findings at professional conferences to sharing these findings with the university community at our ISU Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition and University Research Symposium, ISU graduate students are advancing their fields and contributing to their communities in exciting ways.
You can help make these opportunities possible by supporting the Graduate School’s Dean’s Excellence Fund. Your gift provides direct support for graduate student success and professional development. When you give, you are investing in the talent, ideas, and potential of today’s graduate students - and in the scholars, researchers, and creative thinkers who will make a difference tomorrow.
Thank you for supporting graduate education at Idaho State University and being part of our students’ journey!"
- Dr. Karen Appleby, Dean of the Graduate School
