The significance of your investment

  • Zebulon Pearce awards recognize exceptional faculty

    The Zebulon Pearce Distinguished Teaching Award was established in memory of Zebulon Pearce, who graduated from Territorial Normal School at Tempe (now Arizona State University) with teacher’s credentials in 1899. These awards honor teaching excellence within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For spring 2016, we have named three winners based on their dedication to students and substantial contributions to the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences.

  • A student nurtures her passion

    Annie Carson, a global health major in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University, was able to visit six foreign countries to conduct research for her honors thesis thanks to a merit-based scholarship from the Circumnavigators Club Foundation, which supports programs that further its mission of improving international relations through friendship and understanding.

  • ASU strengthens STEM pathway

    Thanks to the generosity of two major donors, Boeing and Salt River project, high school teachers can receive partial tuition scholarships and programmatic support to advance their education in physics and improve their teaching capabilities. The ASU modeling instruction program addresses physics-teacher shortage and strengthens STEM pathway, directly benefiting 100,000 students annually in school districts across Arizona.

  • Alumnus helps support ASU students

    After graduating from the microbiology program in Arizona State University’s School of Life Sciences in 1970, alumnus Michael Peddecord decided to start contributing to the program’s scholarship fund to help alleviate students’ financial struggles. Blessed with a stable, well-paying job, Peddecord believes it’s only fair to give something back. And, there’s a long list of scholars who have been impacted by his generosity.

  • Research opportunities shaped student’s future

    Being on ASU’s International Genetically Engineered Machine team convinced alumnus Ryan Muller that he wanted to pursue synthetic biology as a graduate student, and that he was good at it. Muller continues to appreciate the way the School of Life Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry supported his research efforts by giving him all the necessary recourses to develop his own projects and succeed.

The meaningful impact of student scholarships

If you want to make sure your gift matters, consider investing in our scholarship funds. Our students not only benefit from financial assistance, but also the knowledge that someone from their community believes in them enough to help fund their education. Without your help, our students wouldn’t have this opportunity.

The Meaningful Impact of Scholarships

Give to a worthwhile cause

“I have always wanted to study in Argentina. Thanks to the support of ASU and the scholarships I have received, I was able to make that dream a reality in the spring of 2015, when I studied psychology and Spanish.”
Karen Mier
Psychology student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
“The endowed faculty chair created by the brilliant and high-spirited Florence Nelson gave me the freedom to explore blue-sky ideas that would typically be considered too risky for conventional grant programs. Florence’s visionary investment ultimately led the way to our discovery of ZMapp™, today’s most promising drug treatment for people infected with Ebola.”
Charles Arntzen
Regents’ Professor and the Florence Ely Nelson Presidential Endowed Chair in ASU’s Biodesign Institute and School of Life Sciences
