Crimson Laureate


Crimson Laureate Society


Donations to the Crimson Laureate Society enable deserving science students to make their education a reality. Most gifts made to the College of Science are under $1,000. But together they add up to millions for financial aid, academics, research, and other programs. Together we can make a difference. Recently, many donors have doubled the impact of their investments by using matching donation programs. In these cases, supporters of the college will match the gift dollar-for-dollar, doubling the donation.

For more information on Crimson Laureate Society membership and College of Science alumni events, contact Jeff Martin at martin@science.utah.edu.
