At Michigan ECE, we are committed to empowering the next generation of engineers through exceptional education, opportunity, and support. The ECE Scholars Fund plays a vital role in helping us provide crucial tuition assistance to both undergraduate and graduate students. By contributing to this fund, you enable talented students to focus on their studies and pursuits and ensure that they have the necessary tools to become successful engineers in their communities.
Your support helps us recognize excellence through annual PhD awards for outstanding research, innovation, leadership, and dissertations, as well as annual undergraduate awards for achievement in scholarship, research, service, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
In addition, the ECE Scholars Fund provides emergency financial assistance to students facing unexpected challenges, to help ensure every student can thrive, regardless of circumstance.
Thanks to a generous gift from Dr. Cheng P. and Mrs. Laura C. Wen, all gifts to ECE will be matched dollar for dollar up to $1,000 to support the ECE Scholars Fund.
Here's how your gift can directly impact our students:
