About

Artists and creators are the visionaries and innovators who inspire us, shape our culture and drive positive change. The College of the Arts is the creative heart of PSU, and the College of the Arts Dean’s Fund empowers emerging artists, architects, filmmakers, musicians and performers to thrive as they embrace their studies and artistic practice.

Your gift to the College of the Arts Dean’s Fund can provide immediate assistance to students experiencing financial emergencies, but it can also help to support students and faculty in practical ways as they pursue their artistic vision on the stage, in the studio, and in the community.

Your gift can provide:

  • Urgent financial support for a student experiencing a job loss, housing emergency, or other urgent needs
  • Scholarships for students
  • Research awards for faculty
  • Community engagement opportunities

Support the College of the Arts Dean’s Fund, and invest in the artists and innovators who are shaping our future through their creativity, inspiration and dedication.
