College Priorities

Where can your gift have the greatest impact?


At the heart of private giving to the college is your commitment to your department:


Annual gifts are making a difference in the lives of our students every day. They provide each department with the ability to meet the changing educational needs of its students and are directed toward the highest priorities:

  • Scholarships for deserving undergraduate students
  • Fellowships for exceptional graduate students
  • Endowments for attracting and retaining world class scholars
  • Instructional Resources that include upgrades in technology, facilities, and other resources vital to education and undergraduate research

Creating an environment where our current and future leaders can thrive is a responsibility that we take very seriously. Without question, financial support from our alumni and friends is one of the primary reasons our students can succeed personally, scholastically, and professionally.

By expressing your loyal commitment through your financial investment, you empower our faculty and students to continue to pursue the academic, research, and career development that defines the excellence associated with Engineering at the University of Illinois.
