College of Arts & Sciences: Powering Potential

A gift to CAS is an investment in the thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers of tomorrow.

In the College of Arts & Sciences, our students are balancing rigorous academics with the realities of life. For many, the hurdle isn't a lack of talent—it’s a lack of time. Through Powered by Eastern, your support provides the financial bridge that allows our students to put down the paycheck and pick up the textbook.

Where Your Support Goes

• The CAS Internship Fund (Mentorship & Experience): High-impact internships are often low-paying or unpaid. Your gift helps cover living and tuition costs, ensuring every student can gain the experience that launches a career.
• Arts & Sciences Scholarship Funds: These funds are awarded by the Dean’s Office to high-achieving students across all majors. These scholarships provide the critical support that allows students to stay enrolled and focused on their degree.

The CAS Difference

Because of donors like you, our students graduate with less debt and more experience. You are giving them the freedom to:

• Work fewer hours at outside jobs and dedicate more time to research and study.
• Access the "hidden" career path of internships that were previously unaffordable.
• Connect with mentors and build a professional network before graduation.

Your support through Powered by Eastern makes the difference between a student just getting by and a student truly getting ahead.
