External funding is vital to our success and the development of new and existing programs for the Beaver College of Health Sciences. We are in need of the financial resources to recruit leading faculty, to fund student scholarships, to provide our researchers with the resources they need and to sponsor service learning experiences.

We can continue to improve and enhance through your financial gifts.

Regardless of the amount you choose to give, you can make a difference. Each gift given is important.

Contributions are not only beneficial to the college, they can also help achieve personal fulfillment, provide you with an income for life and serve as a tax benefit.

Why Give to the Beaver College of Health Sciences?

Approximately 500,000 citizens in North Carolina work in the health and human service areas, and Appalachian's college is poised to play a pivotal role in the health and economic development of our region and beyond. We invite you to join us, as your support is vital while we embark on this significant milestone for Appalachian State University.

Appalachian State University developed the Beaver College of Health Sciences to meet the high demand for well-qualified health care professionals in North Carolina. The college will serve our region and address the health and wellness needs of our citizens. When you visit a physician's office, medical laboratory, sporting event, school, hospital or clinic, chances are your life will be impacted by a health sciences professional.

Health science professionals come from many diverse disciplines. From the laboratory to the therapy room, health science professionals play an integral role in health care.

The continued support and growth of the college is critical to its future and your contributions will help maximize the learning experience for students and allow Appalachian to continue to grow as an incomparable place of higher learning.
