Fuel Wonder in SBS
Invest in tomorrow's leaders and changemakers by supporting our student scholarships and innovative programming.
Fuel Wonder is the University of Arizona's most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, with a goal of raising $3 billion. The College of SBS's Fuel Wonder goals align with our strategic plan, which focuses on transformation and impact. With your help, we can:
- Increase funding for experiential learning opportunities and career preparation for students.
- Fund a Student Completion Scholarship Endowment, which helps students bridge the financial gap to graduation.
- Increase graduate student fellowships, which also help us recruit faculty, maintain our rankings, and provide quality educational opportunities for undergraduates.
- Fund research that advances solutions to the grand challenges of our time and supports our community.
- Name the SBS Árbol de la Vida Living and Learning Space and the Student Lounge in the Student Success District.
Please consider how you can Fuel Wonder in the College of SBS, how you might light the fire in our students and faculty to imagine bigger and to accomplish the extraordinary. Join us in our quest to create a better, more just, world.

Student Completion Fund
You can help all our students graduate by funding our Student Completion Scholarship, which helps students bridge the financial gap in order to graduate. Help students who are financially struggling by paying off small past due balances so they can enroll in classes and graduate on time.
World-Class Faculty Research
Support innovative faculty research in the college. SBS faculty discovered the oldest Mayan monument, research the impact of Arizona voting on elections, revitalize Native American languages, study health communication, help to decrease poverty, and lead research on the transformative potential of agrivoltaics.
Graduate Funding
Donations can go towards scholarships, internships, or travel funds for graduate students, so they can strengthen their language skills, complete research, and facilitate their understanding of other countries and cultures.
