Support Graduate Liberal Studies
The 2010-2011 MALS Endowment Campaign
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Endowment was initiated in 1993 by graduates of the MALS program. The purpose of the Endowment is to ensure that highly-qualified students can pursue interdisciplinary study in Graduate Liberal Studies (GLS) at Duke University.
Income from the MALS Endowment generates awards in honor of Joyce B. Franke (MALS, 1984) and Diane Sasson (MALS Director, 1984-1999) and in memory of Linda Ironside (MALS, 1994) and Kim Wilson (MALS student, 1999-2001).
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE
Graduate Liberal Studies strives to recognize and support the needs and talents of students who represent the ongoing vitality of the program. The MALS Endowment enables us to provide scholarship support each fall and spring term to new GLS students. Award recipients receive a one-time award from the interest generated by the Endowment. These awards not only honor the contributions of the individuals for whom they are named, but they recognize the remarkable accomplishments and academic promise that each entering class brings to GLS.
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
More than over a decade after the Endowment was established, the need for scholarship support is greater than ever. Your generous support preserves the stability of the GLS program by guaranteeing that scholarship awards will be available over the long term.
