Endowments
 


The University of Hartford is a young university, and with your help, we can continue to improve our campus and our programs. Endowments are created for various purposes and at the same time, they establish a personal legacy.

Scholarships
Scholarship dollars are often the deciding factor in determining whether a student can attend college. Through the history of the University of Hartford, scholarships of all sizes have enabled students to complete their studies and pursue their dreams. Scholarships can be established in a variety of ways. Some donors wish to create a scholarship in an area of study that holds special meaning for them, while others want to honor a family member or friend. In any form, scholarships have a direct and powerful impact on students.

Faculty Development
At the heart of any great university is its faculty, and nowhere is this more true than at the University of Hartford. This is a place where close student-faculty relationships are embedded in the culture; where faculty elect to come because teaching is their priority; and where students know they can turn to their professors to acquire a deeper level of understanding. Faculty funding enables us to retain and recruit outstanding teachers, support faculty research and scholarship, and fund participation in national and international symposia, fellowships, and sabbaticals -- activities that enrich classroom teaching and strengthen scholarship.

University Libraries
The world of information resources is changing and expanding at lightening speed. Securing the funding to keep pace is critical for the university's libraries. Mortensen Library is a focal point for the university's academic life. Mortensen's extensive collection of books, print and electronic journal titles, and online resources makes it the pivotal resource for students and faculty. Mortensen also offers information and technology services, and special collections and rare books. Expanded offerings are provided by The Hartt School's Allen Library, with music, theatre, and performing arts resources, and the Bess Graham Library and Electronic Resource Center.
