Giving
We appreciate your generosity.
Private support from donors gives the Department of Sociology an edge for excellence, allowing us to reward top scholarly efforts and to competitively recruit students and faculty.
Our Funds
Gifts to Sociology are used for undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and for engagement activities like seminars, lectures, and community outreach. A gift may support an existing scholarship or fund, or it may create a new fund for current needs or an endowment to support programs into the future. Gifts may be made in honor of a faculty member or friend.
For questions about giving to the Department or establishing a new fund, please contact a CLAS development officer.
To make a gift via mail or securities, please visit the How to Give page on the UConn Foundation website.

30098 – Sociology Department Awards
To award a scholarship to a Sociology student for excellence in teaching or excellence in written contribution to the field of Sociology.
31340 – Drs. Arnold and Sandra W. Dashefsky Student Award for Excellence Endowment
To provide one or more scholarship awards to undergraduate and/or graduate students majoring in Sociology or related fields.
The Dashefsky Award was an affirmation of the research I was able to conduct in Poland on anti-blackness and racism. The much needed funds and the intent behind the award itself is a testament that previous scholars here at UConn are making to future generations of scholars coming through UConn examining these fraught and needed subjects.
