Learn more about your impact

The humanities division at The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences imagines more just and sustainable worlds through an exploration of the human adventure across time, history, culture and place. Through your generous donation to the humanities, Dean Jeffrey Cohen will have the opportunity to enhance educational programs and connect students with the community through the power of the human experience.

Receiving my scholarship has benefited my life so much. There wasn't really a lot of income coming in, so without the scholarship, I probably would've had to work full time or I probably wouldn't have even finished my degree."

Impact of Donor Support

  • More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
  • More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
  • Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
  • The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.

Contributions enable us to build an inclusive and expansive humanities community. Donations support student and faculty research, visits to Phoenix by prominent authors and scholars and public engagement of all kinds.
