Give to UVA Batten

The University of Virginia is need-blind in its admissions process and committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students. UVA Batten is proud to ensure that every student who earns admission can consider their offer without regard to financial constraints. This is only possible through the generosity of donors.

The hallmark degree of the UVA Batten School is the two-year, residential Master of Public Policy (MPP). For many students, however, stepping away from careers or family responsibilities to pursue a full-time program presents a significant financial burden. Supporting graduate fellowships strengthens UVA Batten’s ability to attract and enroll exceptional students who enrich the University through their learning, teaching, and research. You can support graduate fellowships—and the vital role they play at UVA Batten—at this link. (Allocation 03770 – BSF Scholarships) (“Batten School Scholarships”)

UVA Batten’s rigorous classroom experience is complemented by hands-on, practical opportunities as students prepare for careers in public service. The School provides funding support for students who have accepted unpaid or underpaid internships. High-quality internship experiences are critical to early career success, and enhanced funding ensures UVA Batten students remain highly competitive in the job market. You can support student internships at this link. (Allocation 03769 – BSF Internships) (“Batten School Internships”)

Employers increasingly seek graduates with international policy exposure and the ability to analyze policy across contexts. However, the rigor of the UVA Batten curriculum can make semester-long study abroad challenging. To address this, UVA Batten is developing a “global classroom” of international study programs embedded within the curriculum, enabling students to participate in transformative global experiences as part of their core coursework. You can support global experiences at UVA Batten at this link. (Allocation 50361 – Global Experience Fund)

UVA Batten faculty are at the forefront of addressing complex public policy challenges through a wide range of research initiatives. Support for faculty research provides critical resources for work on pressing issues such as education, healthcare, national security, economic policy, and the environment. (Allocation 03768 – Faculty Research)

Recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty is essential to attracting exceptional students and delivering a first-in-class educational experience. Support for professorships ensures that UVA Batten continues to attract a talented mix of world-class scholars and experienced practitioners. It also helps maintain one of the lowest student-to-faculty ratios at the University of Virginia, preserving the intimate classroom experience that distinguishes UVA Batten.
