About


When this year's incoming class of Heller students arrived on campus for orientation, they described feelings of resiliency, gratitude, optimism, persistence, and uncertainty at the start of their Heller journeys. These descriptors are a testimony to the character of our students and to the community of caring that surrounds them.

Can you help make this network of support visible on this Giving DEISDay? Our funding priorities include causes like the student enrichment funds through the Heller Annual Fund, the Heller School Fellowship Fund, and the Heller Dean’s Discretionary Fund to address the school’s greatest needs. Student enrichment funds augment students’ academic journeys by helping them purchase classroom materials, attend professional conferences, and support dissertation research expenses.

A student writes: “This award allowed me to continue classes with all materials necessary, without having the added stress of not being able to afford the books needed. By lifting this financial burden, you have deeply impacted my semester in a positive way.”

  • A gift of $25 can buy a textbook;
  • $500 can send a student to a career building conference;
  • and $3,000 can provide a PhD student with the materials and resources necessary to complete their dissertation.

When you support the Heller School Fellowship Fund, you are shoring up student success by reducing their tuition costs, which enables them to focus on their academic program with less financial stress in their daily lives.

Your gift, no matter the size, will go far! A generous member of the Heller School Board of Advisors has stepped forward to match an additional $6,500 gift once we reach 100 donors in honor of our 65th year!

Thank you in advance for your support of Heller students!

Today's the Day to Support the Class of 2029!

Today begins our 48-hour giving challenge to support the future Brandeis Class of 2029 — and we need your help.

Right now, high school seniors across the country are deciding where to call home for the next four years, just like you once did. You made your choice — and now you can help them make theirs. Your gift to scholarships makes a Brandeis education accessible for more students. 

And here’s the exciting part:

If 250 donors give to scholarships by tomorrow, May 1, it will unlock an additional $25,000 to further support the incoming Class of 2029 thanks to Stevie Rachmuth ’14.

Gifts of all sizes make a difference and help us reach our goal of 250 donors. Let’s make Brandeis home for the next generation. Thank you for supporting our students.
