Donations to the Dean's Fund support academics at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Programs that benefit from private support include:
Academic Success Center - donors fund several cadet services in the Academic Success Center, including the Quantitative Reasoning Center, the Writing Center and the Public Speaking Lab. Private support helps facilitate workshops and increase the number of group and individual cadet consultation sessions. Philanthropy also provides extended evening hours to allow cadets additional opportunities to visit the ASC outside their busy morning and afternoon schedules.
Academic Enrichment Programs - Private support is the backbone of programs such as the Cadet Summer Research Program, the Stamps Leadership scholars program, study abroad and exchange programs, internships, K-12 outreach programs, and many cadet clubs such as rocketry, robotics, mock trial, and forensics. Contributions go toward travel, equipment, faculty support and more.
