Why It Matters
Giving research room to move forward.
Research fellowships give faculty room to push promising work further — whether that means accessing new data, presenting findings to other scholars, developing new studies, or involving students in the research process.
The awards also reflect the continuing impact of philanthropic support at Hunt College. Endowed funds established to strengthen faculty scholarship continue to provide resources for work in accounting, finance, trade, management, and other areas represented across the college.
That investment helps faculty expand their research while strengthening the academic environment students experience at Hunt College.
Endowed Support
Research investment with a lasting reach.
Endowed support connects the generosity of Hunt College donors with the scholarship, teaching, and student opportunities taking shape across the college today.
