Centennial Endowments

Donating to the Centennial Endowments, you will be able  to target your gift to help particular interests or purposes.  While, the Second Century Fund supports the Centennial Center for Political Science and related professional opportunity grants, the Professional Opportunity Grant Endowments aim at expanding opportunities for political scientists in particular subfields or for special purposes.

Second Century Fund

The Second Century Fund helps support the Centennial Center for Political Science.  The Centennial Center is quickly becoming a vital resource for political scientists.  In its first year, the Centennial Center has housed 33 scholars!  It is our hope that this endowment will soon be large enough that we do not need to charge visiting scholars for their use of the Center.  Your generous gift will certainly help a budding scholar in the coming years.
