Why Give

NYU Tandon School of Engineering faculty and students address global issues through innovative thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit. We approach academics and research in a fundamentally new way by arming faculty and students with the tools, resources and inspiration to turn their research into applications, products and services that provide solutions to humanity’s most pressing global challenges.

Gifts to the School of Engineering Fund enable us to provide every student with an exceptional learning experience and ensure that the needs of a growing student body and expanding faculty are met.

Your annual gift to the School of Engineering Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the true cost of an NYU education, allowing current and future students to receive a first-rate education. Support from our alumni and friends is crucial — your contribution of any amount makes a difference in the quality of programs and facilities throughout our international network of facilities and campuses.

Gifts to NYU Tandon School of Engineering elevate the value of the degrees awarded by the Institute. U.S. News and World Report cites alumni satisfaction as one criteria used to rank colleges and universities each year.
