Give to the College of Engineering and Applied Science

The value of a CEAS degree is immeasurable—and your gifts are a vital part of our success. They create new opportunities for students, attract faculty of distinction, and support new achievements in research, outreach and experience-based learning.


Our development team can assist you in finding a funding opportunity that suits your goals and passions. Please contact Katie Kuvin via email or at (513) 556-7818 for questions about your gift, and additional information about opportunities to support our students and programs!


Funding Opportunities

Undergraduate Student Scholarship Support

Scholarships are vital to recruit and retain talented future engineers who want to pursue their education here at UC. Support is needed for first-year scholarships, as well as retention and finishing scholarships. Additionally, opportunities exist to support undergraduate research and entrepreneurship scholarships.

Graduate Student Scholarships and Full Fellowships

Our graduate students tackle the most challenging global technical problems, so it’s imperative to have the support necessary to attract the best and brightest students to study and conduct research here at UC! Fully funded graduate assistants (GAs) and teaching assistants (TAs) require $40,000 a year, but support opportunities exist at all giving levels.

Faculty Support

Attracting the best students requires having an outstanding faculty to teach and conduct research within the college. Endowed professorships and faculty chairs are a key component to building and retaining a broad base of outstanding faculty who not only serve as teachers and researchers but also serve as mentors to our younger faculty who are the rising stars of tomorrow.  

Undergraduate Teaching Labs

Hands-on learning in the laboratory is a vital part of a CEAS education, as are co-op experiences.  While engineering fundamentals haven’t changed as much over the years, lab equipment and technology has. Support for our undergraduate teaching labs allows all of our students to utilize the same modern technology in our teaching labs as they will utilize during their co-op rotations and in industry. 

College and Departmental Discretionary Support

Each of our eight departments and the college as a whole have unique needs that change from month to month, and year to year. Programmatic support to enhance student success, travel support for students and faculty to attend professional conferences, acquiring a key piece of technology to enhance teaching and research – all are but a few examples of opportunities that arise each year and require the generous support of our alumni at any giving level!

Naming Opportunities

In addition to supporting one of the many funds that exist in the college, donors may wish to name a fund in their own name, or to honor a family member or a faculty member who significantly impacted their life.  Naming opportunities within the college include:

  • Current Use Gift Funds
  • Permanently Endowed Funds
  • Term Naming Opportunities
  • Named Spaces
  • Named Departments, Centers and Programs
