Brave. Bold. Unstoppable. We are not done yet, there's still time to give.
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 UI Extension offices, CALS makes a difference in the lives of Idahoans and the world.


Please consider making a gift to the CALS Excellence Fund, CALS Scholarships, Judith Byram Student Engagement Fund, UI Extension Support Endowment or your favorite academic department/school in CALS today! 


College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Excellence Fund

Your gift to the CALS Excellence Fund gives students the opportunity to gain industry knowledge outside the classroom, brings world-renowned agricultural professionals and alumni to campus 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 experiences 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.
