A pooled, current-use fund awarded annually to SCS students who need assistance in lowering the cost barrier of attending CMU.

When you support our SCS Outreach Initiatives, you help us give students, teachers and community organizations more access to the computer science resources they need to provide students of all backgrounds with the CS education they - and we - need for a better future.

The Robotics Institute has made a commitment to initiatives that promote equity, diversity and inclusion. The RI DEI Fund has been created to: financially support students from underrepresented backgrounds, help with outreach activities to battle racial inequality and injustice, and fund recruiting activities for under-represented students and faculty to RI.

Robotics faculty choose the RI for its environment – exceptional colleagues who collaborate on many projects and an entrepreneurial culture unlike anywhere else. Our faculty members spend significant amounts of time searching for resources to support their research. With additional financial support from a professorship fund, our faculty can focus their work on creating and sharing new and exciting research. Professorships may be funded in one time gifts, installments, or to the endowment to provide funding in perpetuity.
