  • 25 gifts to the Engineering Alumni Scholarship fund will unlock Director of Development Adam Wassell's $250 prize!
  • The William States Lee College of Engineering Leadership Academy enables undergraduate students to successfully fulfill future leadership roles in the engineering industry by building their leadership abilities.

It takes a Nation to support the future of engineering.
As you decide where to apply your gift, consider the Alumni Scholarship Fund.

The William States Lee College of Engineering Alumni Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to undergraduate engineering students. By donating to this fund, you directly support students who will become professional engineers and alumni contributors themselves. As an alum, you can continue the cycle of paying it forward. It’s one of the best ways alumni can give back to their alma mater!
