We can’t do what we do without the support of companies and people just like you.
Your financial support helps us provide advanced fabrication equipment, updated facilities, increased scholarships and a design/build program that is second to none. It also underpins our efforts to recruit the top faculty and students and fund research to solve today’s urgent environmental problems.
Throughout her lifetime, interior design alumna Dorothy “Dottie” Sanders (’57) was a generous donor to the university. She passed away in May 2015 and left a substantial gift, creating a lasting endowment that will provide a $14,000 annual scholarship for interior architecture students. Endowed scholarships help our students and give the college a competitive edge in student recruiting.
Whether big or small, your support makes a difference. Here are some of our giving options; choose what’s right for you:
Planned Estate Gift
A giving option that allows you to make a bequest in your will to benefit the college. Your gift can be designated according to your preferences.
Endowment
Endowed gifts are long term and make the biggest impact. An endowed gift is made up of a donation that is invested, and the interest from the investment provides recurring scholarships, travel awards or other long-term support for students and faculty.
College Fund for Architecture and Design
Supports academic excellence in the College of Architecture and Design. The College Fund rewards faculty, provides scholarships, upgrades equipment, and underwrites experience learning and study abroad, among other uses.
School Funds
These funds give our schools leverage to enhance technology, support research and provide programs for students:
Architecture Development Fund
Interior Architecture Development Fund
Landscape Architecture Development Fund
School of Design (Graphic Design) Fund
Annual Gift for Scholarship/Travel Awards
Off-campus study is required for undergraduate Architecture students and highly encouraged by the schools of Interior Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Students also sometimes need support to attend conferences and other learning opportunities. An annual gift can open these possibilities for students.
Your Choice
We will work with you to create the best way to help you make a difference.
