Supporting the College of Arts & Sciences

Nearly every student who comes to UNM benefits from the rich education offered by the College of Arts & Sciences. The foundation that our social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences programs have provided for over 100 years have equipped our graduates to change their futures – and ours – for the better.

Your gift to the College of Arts & Sciences is more than a donation. As the academic heart of UNM, your generosity touches more people, opens more pathways to success, strengthens our research efforts, and improves our communities on a local, national, and global scale.

Top Priority

The Humanites & Social Sciences (HSS) Building Fund (203649)

 The Humanities & Social Sciences Building opens in spring 2029 at the heart of UNM's Main Campus. Nearly every UNM student takes a humanities or social sciences course in their first year. The HSS Building will provide students with a welcoming, flexible space to support their learning and development during this crucial time in their education.

New Mexico has made a historic $94 million investment in the HSS project. The College is raising an additional $12 million in philanthropic support to ensure the building fully reflects the excellence of the programs it will house.

Visit the HSS Building page to learn more. To give directly, visit goto.unm.edu/givetohss.

College of Arts and Sciences Scholarship Fund (201029)

Our students work hard to successfully combine their studies and work obligations. Yet, sometimes an unexpected expense threatens to interrupt their studies. At these critical times, a small scholarship can make a big difference to a student. This fund keeps students in school and helps them get to graduation.

When you give to this fund, you provide the most flexible scholarship funding for students. The scholarship funds can be used to support students who need just a few hundred dollars to register for their last semester, students who need a bit of help with their books this semester, and students facing an unexpected expense that might keep them from continuing their studies.
