Funding Priorities
The College of Engineering identifies and prioritizes the needs of our college each year, with a goal of providing the best possible opportunities to our students and faculty.
Our current funding priorities include:
- Faculty Fellows Program:
This program ensures a top quality faculty by awarding $5,000 annually to deserving professors. Donors are encouraged to sponsor a fellowship through endowments or multi-year grants. Faculty Fellowships may be named for the donor, for example, the "John Smith Faculty Fellow" or the "ABC Corporation Faculty Fellow."
- Engineering Scholars Program (ESP):
ESP is an honors program that helps the college recruit top high school students from Texas and the nation. It offers high-achieving students greater depth in their engineering studies and the opportunity to interact with their academic peers. You can create a named ESP with a gift of $50,000.
