Our Giving Day Priority
On NAU Giving Day, you can elevate the Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science through a gift to one of the highlighted areas below:
Nadine Barlow “Believe in Yourself” Endowment
On NAU Giving Day, a gift to this fund provides contributions to the Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science by supporting students in the NASA Space Grant program, recruitment for undergraduate research students.
When you give to the Astronomy and Planetary Sciences Department at Northern Arizona University, you invest in curiosity, discovery, and our understanding of the universe. Your support expands opportunities for undergraduate research, equips students and faculty with vital resources, and sustains the day-to-day excellence of the Astronomy and Planetary Sciences department. Through your generosity, students gain meaningful, hands-on learning experiences—from studying planets to exploring distant galaxies—that prepare them to become the next generation of scientists, explorers, and problem-solvers
