What We’re Fundraising For
When you support Texas Engineering by donating to the area of your choice, you will help us offer a world-class educational experience that sets our students apart.
You can provide our departments with the funding needed to engage students in experiential learning and help them grow as engineers. From team-based competitions that encourage students to put classroom learning into practice to hands-on projects that give them access to cutting-edge equipment and facilities from the moment they arrive on campus, your gift will have a wide-ranging impact on our young engineers.
By contributing to crucial student support programs like Engineering Student Life, the Equal Opportunity in Engineering Program and the Women in Engineering Program, you can help us foster a diverse and inclusive community for students and guide them through the entire student journey — from recruitment and transition into college to graduation, career placement and professional success. Your gift will support advising and mentorship opportunities, as well as professional development experiences and student organizations that help young engineers develop leadership skills and form lifelong friendships.
You can also choose to support undergraduate scholarships, which ensure that the best and brightest students, regardless of their financial background, have access to an engineering education. By supporting Texas Engineering Executive Education, you can help us provide continuing education for working engineers worldwide.
