Empower Visionary Young Minds

Together, we give the brightest minds an opportunity to thrive. The Engineering Visionary Scholarship Initiative makes an Illinois education accessible to the most-deserving and highest-achieving undergraduate students from all backgrounds. Large, renewable scholarships help us to lift the financial burden and give talented students a runway toward realizing their dreams.

Build the Talent Pipeline

Computer science underpins nearly every aspect of modern life. The arts, science, business, medicine, and engineering all benefit from the computational power, modeling, and thinking found in computer science. We are looking for advocates, partners, and participants for our outreach programs that will help inform K-12 educators, and prospective students and their families about the fascinating and fun applications of CS.

Give to CS K-12 Outreach Programs

Sustain Excellence & Seed Innovation

Recurring gifts of all sizes are an essential way we provide support to our areas of greatest need--especially those that require a nimble response. Annual Funds supplement scholarship and fellowship offers, outreach programming, and sending students to top conferences and technical competitions. Alumni giving also functions as a measure of the department's strength and affects our national rankings.
