Annual Giving
Invest in Clark Atlanta University. Invest in our Students. Give Every Year.
Annual Giving is an important component of the school’s annual operating budget and provides direct funding for the University’s day-to-day expenses that tuition alone simply does not cover.
The unrestricted fund gives the University the flexibility to undertake new initiatives and provide scholarship funding for those students who have the greatest need. Donors may choose to designate their funds or support University programs and initiatives that are meaningful to them by giving to the following areas:
- Athletics
- Atlanta University Center-wide Symphony Orchestra (AUCSO)
- Clark Atlanta University Art Museum
- General Scholarship Fund
- Mighty Marching Panther Band Scholarships
- President’s Scholarship Fund
- School of Arts and Sciences
- School of Business
- School of Education
- School of Social Work
- The Philharmonic Society (Travel and Scholarship)
- William E. Shack Closing the Gap Scholarship Fund
