Vandal Giving Day 2022 Launches April 5 at 10:00 a.m.!
Agricultural and Life Sciences

The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) is leading the way in finding solutions to the world’s most critical challenges. Every day, faculty, staff and students in CALS provide real-life solutions that advance the health and welfare of people, animals and the environment. Whether it’s in the classroom, at one of our research facilities across the state or through interaction in local University of Idaho Extension offices, we make a difference in the lives of Idahoans and the world beyond.


Please consider making a gift to the CALS Excellence Fund, UI Extension Support Endowment or your favorite academic department in CALS today! 


College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Excellence Fund

Your gift to the CALS Excellence Fund allows students the opportunity to gain industry knowledge outside the classroom, the ability to bring world-renowned agricultural professionals and alumni to campus to share experiences and research with students, faculty and staff, and provides much-needed scholarship support. Since 2016, nearly $30,000 from this fund has been used to assist 88 CALS students to attend conferences, national competitions, professional meetings and trainings, and international events. These opportunities allow our students to broaden their skill set while meeting potential employers and showcasing the work being done in CALS. Your gift to the CALS Excellence Fund is the easiest way to impact many students in the college.
