The Department of Environmental Sciences' focus is donor-centric, mindful of what the donors and the department's constituents want to accomplish with their money. We recognize the importance of donors' intentions and facilitate the necessary interactions to support the department and Rutgers.
Scholarships for undergraduates, fellowships for graduate students, and awards help cover tuition and research, which allows us to attract and retain the best students to the Department of Environmental Sciences and continue our mission of providing instruction in the classroom, field, and laboratory, and opportunities for experiential learning on and off campus.
Support for research and faculty enables the Department of Environmental Sciences to enhance research projects, instrumentation, facilities, and other research expenses.
