Giving
No matter the size, your gift helps CAHNR fulfill its mission now and for generations to come. From opening doors to education for our students or supporting extension programs that uplift communities, your generosity will help shape our College’s future.
Ways to Support CAHNR
Student Scholarships and Success
Scholarships empower CAHNR students to pursue hands-on learning and discovery in fields that shape healthier people, stronger communities, and a more sustainable world. Your gift fuels student success and prepares tomorrow’s problem-solvers.
Dean’s Fund
The CAHNR Dean’s Fund fuels innovation across agriculture, health, and natural resources. Your support enhances student learning, drives faculty research, and strengthens programs that improve lives in our communities.
Faculty Endowments
Endowed professorships and chairs allow CAHNR to recruit and retain leading faculty whose teaching and research advance human and animal health, sustainable food systems, and resilient environments. To learn more about supporting a CAHNR faculty endowment, please contact our development team.
UConn Extension
The Reaching All Communities with UConn Extension fund supports hundreds of community engagement programs across Connecticut, like low-cost well water testing, resources for farmers, and youth development programs.
“College tuition is expensive, especially for an out-of-state student like myself. Paying for college would have been a financial tightrope without the assistance of scholarships.”
