Funding Initiatives
Our mission is simple: conduct groundbreaking research that addresses a broad range of pressing world problems and educate engineers to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Supporters of Stanford Engineering make it possible for us to carry out that mission.
From helping us launch new faculty and provide stable funding to seasoned faculty, to recruiting the best graduate students and equity and inclusion initiatives, there are so many ways you can have a meaningful impact on engineering at Stanford—and across the world.
