Global Impact through Giving – Strengthen our Global Community
The strength of the McDonnell International Scholars Academy lies in our global community of Scholars, alumni, faculty, partners, and friends. Together, we foster cross-cultural leadership, support academic excellence, and provide meaningful engagement—making a lasting impact on every Scholar and the future they are helping to shape.
Every gift to the McDonnell Academy directly supports our Scholars, signature programs, and worldwide network— helping us deliver rich, multidisciplinary experiences and impactful opportunities that prepare tomorrow’s global leaders.
We must meet students where they are and provide them the support they need to pursue every opportunity, realize their full potential, and shape our world. Your gift to the McDonnell Academy is an investment in the next generation of global leaders. Whether supporting leadership development, or transformative academic experiences, every contribution helps us empower exceptional students from around the world to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. Join us in advancing global impact—support the McDonnell Academy and be part of shaping the future through education, research, and leadership.
Changing the world begins with empowering our students.”
