Mark your calendars! Giving Blueday is on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.
Giving Blueday is an opportunity to call on our community to give to various initiatives.
Last year, the incredible generosity of our community nearly doubled our fundraising goal, demonstrating strong support for Political Science undergraduate students.
Your inspiring efforts are making a real impact! Here’s what one of our undergraduate students had to say:
"Through the Academic Experience Fund, I was able to attend the 82nd Midwestern Political Science Association Conference in Chicago, where I presented at the undergraduate poster session[...] Being able to attend one of these conferences is a huge privilege and honor as an undergraduate, and the Academic Experience Funding Program helps this experience come to fruition."
- Alan, U-M Undergraduate Student
As one of the first departments in the country dedicated entirely to the study of politics, we are recognized for our exceptional teaching, innovative scholarships, and deep commitment to research and exploration.
To continue this legacy, any donations made to the Political Science Academic Experience Funding Program on March 18 will be allocated to support undergraduate research. Your contributions will enable more of our students to participate in research experiences that enhance their understanding of political science beyond the traditional classroom.
"A contribution to the Academic Experience Funding Program is an investment in the future scholars in Political Science!"
- Jeanette, U-M Undergraduate Student
EVERY GIFT, big or small, makes a difference! On March 18, help us make a lasting impact by donating to the Political Science Academic Experience Funding Program.
