Supporting a New Generation of Student Innovators

Our educational environment creates problem solvers, drivers of technological innovation, and highly-skilled professionals in specific disciplines who possess broad views about how their expertise fits into the world. Indeed, our students and alumni are architects of change.

They are entrepreneurial educators, virtual-storytellers, eco-visionaries, computational biologists, interactive-artists and behavioral economists of the not-too-distant future. Carnegie Mellon undergraduate and graduate students are literally the best and the brightest in the world.

It is essential that we have the financial ability to attract the top students and to provide them with the support they need. This support is only possible because of people like you, who recognize that funding today's students means funding tomorrow's future.

Our Goal: $350 Million in Student Support

Fulfilling our goal would allow for more students to take advantage of:

  • Undergraduate Scholarships
  • Graduate Fellowships
  • Student Leadership Initiatives
  • Campus Programs and Athletics

To learn more about making a generous donation to support these initiatives, contact us.
