State support for public universities continues to shrink; state funding now covers less than 24% of UCI's total budget. Therefore, we must depend increasingly upon the philanthropy of private individuals, corporations, and foundations to enable development of the facilities, programs and student support to levels of excellence that will continue to distinguish this School and region.
There are many opportunities for making named or other gifts to the UCI School of Engineering, including endowments, fellowships, research program support and equipment.
