About Fuel the Fire
Carnegie Mellon students dream big and follow their passions with intensity. That’s why we are asking you to fuel their fire as part of Inspire Innovation: The Campaign for Carnegie Mellon University. Your generous contribution enables the best and brightest to attend Carnegie Mellon and reach their full potential.

You can help Carnegie Mellon attract the best and brightest students
Students who apply to Carnegie Mellon are high achievers and often have the opportunity to choose from other top-tier universities. When making their final choice, aid in the form of scholarships and fellowships can be the critical factor in their decision.
Many of the institutions for which Carnegie Mellon competes for students have much larger endowment resources — three to four times in some cases — therefore, the university is often at a financial disadvantage. Your support can make the difference by supplying vital resources that fund financial aid and help students choose Carnegie Mellon.
