SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SCIENCES

The School of Humanities and Sciences is the foundation of a liberal arts education at Stanford, driving open, critical inquiry across 49 departments and programs in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and natural sciences.

We are also the university’s home for fundamental research, where faculty and students explore critical questions about human existence and the natural world. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we encourage students to uncover new paths of inquiry while preparing them to shape the future with knowledge and purpose.

The H&S Fund for Graduate Education

Empowering graduate students in the arts, humanities, and sciences

Donors have a powerful and immediate impact on our graduate student community. Gifts to the H&S Fund for Graduate Education support exceptional academics, groundbreaking research, and vital financial aid, ensuring students thrive, contribute to their fields, and pursue graduate studies regardless of financial barriers.

“I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to study at this incredible institution. Every day brings new challenges, knowledge, and growth as a scientist, student, and person. The intellectual wealth of Stanford’s scientific community is staggering, and none of this would be possible without donor support.”

— Elena Gevorgyan, PhD student, Department of Biology
