• Funds for students who find themselves unable to meet the costs associated with their studies, 包括书籍, 实验室的费用, 出差去做研究
• 教师 development investments so professors have support to fully explore their research and teaching endeavors

目前, 66% of Saint Mary’s students receive need-based financial aid, and 23% come from low-income households as demonstrated by Pell Grant eligibility—homes where even modest housing is likely to consume a third or more of family income. Low-income and first-generation students with financial need face a great deal of stress in trying to fund a college education. This exerts pressure on students to work for income while in school and may cause them to rethink their academic plans and attendance at baccalaureate institutions and graduate school, 从而限制了他们的职业潜力. 奖学金项目有着巨大的影响, not only on students’ ability to stay in school but also their ability to stay focused on their academic studies while they are matriculated, 给他们更大的成功机会.

在过去的几年里, generous donors to the 理学院 helped the College purchase a number of exciting and essential pieces of equipment. 随着科学研究和技术领域的不断发展, maintaining updated science equipment in our Biology and Chemistry departments will be critical for our ability to respond to these changes.  Having resources available for new and improved equipment—without having to depend on the ebb and flow of annual donor interests—will further catalyze opportunities for new courses, 实验室, 以及化学和生物化学的研究项目, thereby enhancing science education for more than 2800 undergraduate students over the next 15 years.

New equipment and research opportunities will attract more students and support faculty efforts to grow these programs while stimulating new teaching and research on timely subjects such as surface-level air pollution, 气候变化, and the identification of new pharmaceutical compounds for medical advances. Building an endowment exclusively for science equipment will improve the opportunities for student research, 扩大我们教师的研究可能性, and enhance the classroom and laboratory opportunities in the 理学院.
