Adelphi has prepared generations of students from all backgrounds for a wide range of cultural pursuits while fostering a passion for knowledge and an understanding of the importance of service. Carrying out this mission requires attracting and supporting talented and caring faculty and curious and capable students.


Endowments for Scholarships
For more than 100 years, Adelphi has been a place of opportunity. Many who earn Adelphi degrees are the first in their families to graduate from college.

Scholarship support can make the difference between a student, particularly one of modest means, attending Adelphi or another institution.  

Already, Adelphi is one of the most selective private institutions in the region for undergraduate students. Increasing the endowment for student scholarships will allow the University to maintain its competitive edge and continue to attract and retain talented and motivated students from diverse backgrounds.


Endowments for Faculty Support
First-rate teaching, scholarship, and creative endeavor lie at the heart of every great university. The best faculty open students’ minds and unlock hidden talents, ambitions, and aspirations.

Many Adelphi alumni and students consider their personal and professional success a testament to the professors who nurtured and challenged them.

Adelphi is committed to attracting and developing world-class faculty. To date, Adelphi has been able to offer just one fully-endowed chair or professorship, an enticement which is increasingly important to top recruits. By establishing such endowments for its most distinguished faculty, Adelphi’s capacities to attract leading scholars, creators, and teachers will greatly expand.
