Giving Opportunities
General Operations / Program Support: Your gift supplements our research and teaching initiatives by bringing visitors from around the world to the campus for academic and public events, including lectures, workshops, conferences and arts events.
Lectureships: Endowed funds support lecturers and the costs associated with their coursework, ensuring a wide range of rich offerings for Stanford students. We are currently seeking funds to endow a Turkish Language & Literature Lectureship at Stanford University.
Professorships: An endowed professorship is the highest academic honor that the university can bestow upon a member of its faculty. The holders of Stanford’s approximately 400 endowed professorships represent the most distinguished scholars in their fields, and the donors of endowed professorships are among the university’s most generous and far-sighted benefactors. We are currently seeking funds to endow a Professorship in Turkish Studies at Stanford University.
Visiting Professorships: Complementing the teaching of the Stanford faculty, scholars and professionals are recruited to teach Stanford students. Endowed funds support these visiting professors and the costs associated with their coursework, ensuring a wide range of rich offerings for students.
Other Projects: Should you like to designate your gift to support other projects (such as an endowed lecture series, fellowships, or language instruction programs), please contact us.
