Crop Sciences Unrestricted Fund
The Department of Crop Sciences is able to fulfill its commitment to the land grant mission, in part, with gifts to the Crop Sciences Unrestricted Fund. Gifts to the unrestricted fund allow department leadership to solve the most pressing needs each year by applying gifts toward the greatest needs. The most common uses of the unrestricted fund include supplementing the department scholarship and fellowship offerings, enhancing our Extension presence, facility and equipment updates, student study abroad experiences, and individual travel requests for professional conferences at the regional and national level.

Crop Sciences Experiential Learning Fund
The Crop Sciences Experiential Learning Fund aims to provide graduate and undergraduate students with hands-on, real-world experience as part of a project, course, or professional development experience. Students who show an interest in enhancing their Illinois degree with these experiences can apply to the department for support but must demonstrate a need for why and how it will enhance their academic and professional career. Experiences could include study abroad, research, internship, attending/presenting at academic conferences, service-learning opportunities, and more. As demonstrated by Ph.D. student Niki Lee on a recent trip teaching integrated pest management and pesticide safety in Mozambique, these experiences can change the lives and career paths of more than just the students.
