College of Arts and Sciences

Whether it’s startup funding for interdisciplinary faculty research or increased scholarship support to ensure a student reaches graduation, gifts to the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University are critical to meeting the most pressing needs of our campus community.

Every CWRU undergraduate student benefits from support of the College Fund (the Annual Fund for the College of Arts and Sciences), which fuels scholarships, research and travel for conferences and other professional development experiences.

The same goes for graduate students in the arts, humanities, and the physical, biological and mathematical sciences, who come to the College of Arts and Sciences for focused, specialized study with renowned faculty and academic mentors.

Johana Guci

Case Western Reserve University was by far my best option for college, but I was worried I wouldn’t be able to afford it. Then I got the financial aid package and I was so relieved. I wouldn’t have been able to attend CWRU if not for the scholarships I was awarded.”
