University-Wide Priorities

While the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign will elevate a variety of niche areas on campus—including individual departments, research programs, and centers and institutes—some of its most compelling priorities are those that will enrich the experience of every member of the Notre Dame family.
Chief among these are the Scholarships and Fellowships that will help the University to attract a more accomplished and diverse student body than ever before by ensuring that the most capable students are able to select Notre Dame based on their talent and desire—and not on their finances.
Other priorities in this category will protect and enhance the student life traditions so integral to the Notre Dame experience; help the libraries to keep pace with expanding curricula and an explosion of digital information; enrich the campus arts scene; and, last but certainly not least, support the students, teams, and facilities that give shape to the spirited traditions of Fighting Irish Athletics.
