Named Student Scholarships

Providing opportunities for qualified students from underrepresented populations is central to the mission of the Department of Civil Engineering. Scholarships at the undergraduate and graduate (including PhD) levels help our programs to remain competitive and accessible to highly qualified students of all backgrounds. This valuable support can recognize merit and can alleviate reliance on loans, making an engineering education possible for students regardless of their financial situation. Scholarships may be set up as endowments for use in perpetuity or awarded immediately for current assistance to students. 

For a list of the current named scholarships, please see: https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/civileng/civil-engineering-scholarship-opportunities. 

Named Endowed Faculty Titles

Our faculty are deeply committed to the college's academic mission of "access and excellence" as well as to advancing the field of engineering in their selected specializations. Named endowed faculty titles are an appreciated way to recognize merit and reward accomplishment. They may be set up as endowments for use in perpetuity or awarded for a set time duration. 

Gifts to the Department

Unrestricted gifts provide critical support to allow the department and its programs to remain competitive and responsive to new demands. Such gifts can support student-driven initiatives such as modernizing program curricula, upgrading facilities, and providing new opportunities outside of the classroom for students to connect with alumni and potential employers.

Gifts may be contributed directly to the department by sending a check to the departmental chairperson (see https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/civileng/contact-us). If you choose to make a contribution to the college online at https://giving.ccny.cuny.edu/ways-to-give, please consider restricting your gift to the Department of Civil Engineering to ensure that we receive the support. 

We graciously thank all of our donors, past and present.
