The number one priority within the College is endowment. An endowment is a gift made on the condition that the principal is continually preserved and that only a percentage of the interest is spent annually. The College of Engineering invites you to pledge your support toward an endowed fund. Please take a few moments to peruse the listing of endowed funds within the College of Engineering segmented by department.
Dean’s recommendations
This discretionary annual fund provides the dean with the greatest flexibility to respond where there is need within the college.

Gifts to the College of Engineering Student Emergency Fund will provide necessary financial support to the students who need our help. Gifts will support students who are challenged with accessing basic necessities such as housing, food, medical care or required technology resources leveraged to ensure reliable connectivity for remote learning. Gifts will also support students who experience a loss of total family income due to employment impacts experienced by their parents and to support.
Contributions to the College of Engineering Inclusion and Diversity Fund are used to support engineering’s inclusion and diversity programmatic efforts. Gifts will support student success initiatives and programmatic efforts, including undergraduate research opportunities, tutors for students, sending students to conferences to enhance their leadership and professional skills, and scholarships for students in need of assistance with books/tuition.
