Computer Science Annual Fund
The Computer Science Annual Fund is a fund focused on financially supporting entering and current students within the department. The Innovation Fund fulfills its mission by honoring our past, preserving our present excellence and extending our outreach to future generations.
Now, more than ever, we depend on the alumni and friends of the Department of Computer Science. The economic climate in which the department operates has changed dramatically since the year 2000. Government funding, which once covered 80% of our budget, now provides only 20% of our funding. In order to continue to flourish as one of the top computer science departments in the country, we depend on the generosity of our alumni and friends. Your gifts, large or small, enable us to uphold our distinguished past, maintain excellent educational and research opportunities for our current students and faculty, and cultivate our outreach to future generations.
Please join us in supporting our mission to offer more scholarships, fellowships and advancing outreach initiatives so that we may continue to financially support the best and brightest students in the world.
