About


The School of the Arts prepares today’s artist to shape tomorrow’s world by inspiring artistry, promoting scholarship and realizing professionalism as we serve the community in the spirit of Christ. The success of our students depends on friends who believe in our mission and support the School of the Arts. We invite you to become a part of the Samford Arts family and make an arts education possible for a student today!

From an honorary gift to an estate pledge, friends of Samford Arts are the thread that keeps our programs strong by supporting vital operations and allowing for support of unexpected opportunities throughout the year. A gift of any amount is appreciated!

Please note that the Friends of Samford Arts fund is an unrestricted fund, meaning those dollars can be used to meet the school's greatest needs based on the discretion of Dean Lance Beaumont. If you would like to make a gift to a specific fund at School of the Arts--a scholarship, program, or something else--please select "Other" from the designation field dropdown and type in the name of the fund. To learn more about the school, visit samford.edu/arts
