A Clark School Giving Priority

In Brief

Alumni and friends of the Clark School have generously supported undergraduate scholarships, enabling the school to compete successfully for the very best students around the country and raising the school's profile accordingly. While key graduate fellowships have also been established, the time has now come to increase the number of such fellowships well beyond current levels, so that the Clark School more nearly equals the offerings of other top institutions: at present our fellowship endowment is less than 10 percent of the average endowment of the top five public engineering schools.

Impact

Fellowships will attract greater numbers of exceptional graduate students to the Clark School, providing a creative jolt to our research and education programs. More top graduate students will stimulate and support the faculty and undergraduates with whom they work and interact, and result in the increased numbers of top investigators and teachers the nation needs.

Giving Opportunities

Your gift can improve Clark School graduate education in the following ways:
 

•  Endow a fellowship to allow an exceptional student to study without the financial worries that encumber partially- or self-financed students
•  Provide funds to support student attendance at professional conferences
•  Provide funds to help students and their faculty mentors purchase the necessary equipment to support the students' research
•  Provide bridge funds to carry a student over the summer, a time when many students lose funding while waiting for new support
•  Provide emergency funds for graduate students whose family situations require temporary financial support.

How to Participate

We encourage you to learn more about the value of supporting Clark School graduate students and the research and educational programs that they do so much to advance.
