Purpose-driven creativity can change the world
The KU School of Architecture & Design (ArcD) is committed to providing the next generation of design practitioners with the skills and experiences needed to thrive as future-ready professionals and engaged citizens of the world.
Aspiring designers, architects, and multidisciplinary problem-solvers come to KU from around the state, country, and world for an experience unlike any other.
Today, we ask you to join fellow alumni and friends of the School to help provide opportunities for current and future students.
Help us support our community of dedicated students
We have been making unprecedented investments to develop an infrastructure that supports students as they work towards their personal, academic, and career goals. Due to the generosity of KU alumni and friends, we are now offering more scholarships, mentorship programs, career-building events, and funding more student success initiatives than ever before.
Help more young people discover the power of design
As professional designers, we see the hand of the designer everywhere. However, without exposure to what professional designers do and the elemental role design plays in the world, opportunities can hide in plain sight for many prospective students. Because of the support of our alumni and friends, we were able to provide 20 Kansas City-area high school students full scholarships to our 2022 Pre-College Design Camp. With your support, we can provide even more.
Donations large and small create real impact
Your support during this year’s One Day. One KU. 24-hour fundraising campaign will directly enhance the educational experiences for current ArcD students and help expose more talented young people to careers in design.
