  • Charitable Gift Annuities
  • Charitable Remainder Trusts
  • Charitable Lead Trusts
  • Gifts of Life Insurance
  • Gifts of Real Estate
  • Gifts of Personal Property
  • Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets

Alumni and friends of SHSS have available to them a myriad of opportunities to make annual gifts in support of its mission and priorities. SHSS Dean's Fund is an undesignated fund that provides the dean with restricted gifts to the schools’ departments and programs enable department heads or program directors the flexibility to meet their respective academic priorities.

Restricted gifts to the schools’ departments and programs enable department heads or program directors the flexibility to meet their respective academic priorities.

Private financial assistance comes to the NSU Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences in many ways and from many friends and supporters. Donors may direct gifts to a priority of the school, department, or program of their choice. Gifts may be designated for operating support or for an endowment. Unrestricted gifts allow the university to determine where their generosity can do the most good.

For questions about making gifts to SHSS, please contact Daniela Sciarrotta, Director of Development, at daniella@nsu.nova.edu or by phone at (954) 262-2121
