Make a Difference for Chemistry Students

Your gift in any amount to the funds below provide support for chemistry students. You can use the Donate button to give online.

Chemistry Department Fund Donate

This fund provides money for special opportunities or extraordinary needs.

  • Faculty and students can travel to a conference to present their research.
  • Faculty can take part in a special opportunity to update their skills.  Professors need to be aware of the latest developments in their field, so that they can pass this knowledge on to their students.
  • The department can purchase special equipment, test materials, resources, or training modules to help our students attain success and achieve their goals.

These activities and others like them enrich our students immeasurably, enhancing the education they receive at UIS—but we could not do any of them without the discretionary money given to this fund.

K Fund Donate

The net income from the Fund is used to purchase "big ticket" laboratory equipment in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UIS. The equipment purchases shall be restricted to laboratory equipment for the physical or biological sciences programs that would be used, though not exclusively, in the undergraduate laboratory courses. The expenditures are not necessarily made each year, but rather the net income is allowed to reinvest in the principal of the Fund until the principal reaches at least $30,000 in 2003 dollars adjusted for inflation.

Create Your Own Scholarship Fund

Currently, the Chemistry Department does not currently have any targeted scholarship funds. You could be the first donor to create a named scholarship fund that targets the students you specify in the Chemistry Department.
