I had an endowed professorship at UC-Berkeley that supported my research, so I know how important these funds are.

Faculty Professorships and Support Funds

Make a gift to support L&S Faculty FellowsThe Letters & Science Faculty Fellows program recognizes outstanding teacher-researchers in two of the most meaningful ways possible: a prestigious named position and a discretionary fund to cover research and teaching expenses.

L&S departments nominate tenured faculty members who are considered “rising stars” in their field for the L&S Faculty Fellow Award. Each recipient receives a five-year award of $10,000 per year ($50,000 total) for research or teaching expenses. The recipient will hold the Letters & Science Fellow title, which can be a donor-named title, for the five year period.
