Giving - Your donation helps!
Help foster our ambitious students and faculty by making a charitable gift this year to the UHM Department of Earth Sciences. Your donation will help maintain and provide modern teaching infrastructure, support
field excursions, research experiences, and fellowships for students, and support out-of-state visits and in-house-TGIF seminars by world class Earth scientists.
Please contribute to the Department of Earth Sciences funds at the University of Hawai‘i Foundation and help make those geo-dreams come true for a new group of emerging geoscientists.
Please contribute to one of our UH Foundation Funds:
Mahalo!
EARTH SCIENCES ENRICHMENT FUND
This is our most flexible "greatest needs" fund. Gifts to the Earth Sciences Enrichment Fund support scientists in their quest to understand the complex mysteries of the world around us. Your gift will advance the frontiers of science by helping our scientists build high-performance instrumentation, attract talented graduate and postdoctoral students, and provide funds for promising new research initiatives.
EARTH SCIENCES UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FUND
Give the gift of research! Gifts to our Undergraduate Research Fund provide research support for promising new research initiatives amongst our thriving undergraduate student community. UHM Earth students are strongly encouraged to participate in research with a faculty mentor while pursing their Earth Science degrees.
