About
Giving
Behind the success of all initiatives like the Kinder Institute are individuals whose support provides the means of expanding and improving existing programs as well as developing new ones. Over recent years, the generosity of outside parties has allowed the Institute to introduce new B.A. and M.A. degrees in the College of Arts & Science, grow our faculty ranks, and bring leading scholars of political theory and history from around the globe to Columbia to present groundbreaking research to our professors, students, and community members.
For more information about contributing to either the Kinder Institute Scholarship fund detailed below, please feel free to contact Director Jay Sexton, sextonj@missouri.edu.
