Program and other educational support from private donors strengthens academic programs and brings top-flight scholars, thoughtful lecturers and breathtaking performances to KU. It also expands the scope of outreach programs throughout the state and supports valuable acquisitions by KU's libraries and museums.
Student Support - Virtually all privately funded scholarships, awards and fellowships provided by KU come from donor contributions to KU Endowment. This year, 101 new endowed scholarship and student support funds were created and about 8,895 students received financial assistance from privately funded scholarships at KU Endowment.
Faculty support includes over 200 named, endowed positions, including 8 new faculty support funds endowed during this fiscal year. Private funding augments salaries and supports awards, professional travel and professional development. This support is invaluable in creating the vibrant teaching and research environment that one expects at an international research university.
Facilities support - Construction, furnishings and equipment funded by private giving fluctuates from year to year depending on the timeline of construction projects. More than two-thirds of the University of Kansas buildings and about 85% of the land available for campus expansion were made possible by private gifts.
