Biological Science Dean's Fund For Excellence

Please consider a gift to the Dean's Fund for Excellence to create scholarship and research opportunities for our students.

Funding an Endowed Position

Donors who endow a faculty position make a unique and permanent contribution to Ohio State. By providing a continuous source of support for specific fields, the donor, the university, and the chair holder receive great honor and prestige in the academic world.

Endowed chairs and fellowships enable Ohio State to attract exceptional faculty, whose reputations and excellence, in turn, attract other outstanding faculty members. In fact, stellar faculty often recruit their former colleagues at other universities and institutions. Students then benefit, as they seek a top-tier experience and find Ohio State's reputation to be ideal for pursuing their educational goals. One gift to Ohio State can have a far-reaching impact.
