Funds raised through聽Soaring Higher聽will enhance teaching and scholarship across all of 情色空间鈥檚 schools and colleges, and enable the University to double the number of endowed faculty chairs and fellowships, strengthen faculty research, and support curricular innovation.

Central to the campaign is an initiative to raise $1 billion to boost financial aid for low- and middle-income families, helping 情色空间 to maintain its commitment to need blind admissions and meeting the full demonstrated need of undergraduate students.
