For more than 50 years, the alumni, faculty, and students of the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences have been at the forefront of atmospheric and water science scholarship and research. Their impact on the fields of hydrology and atmospheric sciences around the globe has been profound. To maintain that high level of excellence, we must attract the best faculty and students and provide the best facilities. As traditional funding sources decline, the need for private support becomes even greater. You may give online or give by mail, whichever you prefer. Gifts are 100% tax deductible.

The Stanley N. Davis Endowment was established by Phil Fitzwater, alumnus of the University of Arizona Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences (HAS), to support graduate student scholarships. Named in memory of Dr. Stanley N. Davis, who positively impacted Phil and many other students during his tenure as a professor, the scholarship enables us to recruit and retain the best and brightest students. Read more
The Distance Learning fund supports the nation's only 100% distance-learning program leading to a Bachelor of Applied Science with Emphasis in Meteorology.
(click on the Designation dropdown menu and select HAS EDDA (El Dia Del Agua y Atmosfera))
The El Día fund supports the annual student research conference held each spring. Funds may be designated to support student conference registration, student poster printing, venue and refreshments, and sponsorship of social events, such as the afternoon roundtable discussion or the evening pub social.
The John W. Harshbarger Memorial Fund supports both graduate and undergraduate students whose superior achievements and professional dedication exemplify the qualities long associated with John Harshbarger's life--honesty, integrity, and the meticulous application of science-based solutions. Funds support students' laboratory expenses, travel, field work, conferences, professional development, and other activities that encourage excellence in research and education.
The John and Margaret Harshbarger Doctoral Fellowship in Subsurface Hydrology supports a continuing doctoral student (second year or beyond) of superior achievement whose research focuses on hydrogeology or an area within subsurface hydrology. The doctoral student must be a full-time student majoring in Hydrology and have already passed the Doctoral Qualifying Examination in the major. Read more
