#UMassGives 2018
Lend a Hand to the Next Generation of Computer Scientists!
Your gift of any amount during UMassGives will have double the impact -- Dean Laura Haas will match the first $10,000 in gifts to CICS!
Gifts made to CICS by midnight on April 27 will count towards our $10,000 goal.
All of our scholarships have an impact on our students, providing vital financial assistance and encouragement. Please consider giving to the Computer Science Community Fund, which bundles alumni donations into scholarships for talented undergraduate and graduate students.
Use the drop-down menu to choose where you’d like to make an impact today, and thank you for your generous support!
“Next semester I won’t have to worry about books, picking up extra hours at my job, and my scholarship will instead relieve me of many financial burdens. I will be able to focus on my studies, commit more hours on my research project, and be more involved in my outreach of diversity in engineering club. I believe I can speak for all students at UMass, your donations make a difference, and we can’t thank you enough for caring.”
“After graduation, I hope to help solve Africa’s grand challenges in health, access to finance and education, using technology. The financial aid this scholarship comes with increases my chances of realizing this goal. It was my first time setting foot in the US, and the ease with which I have been able to settle in, thanks to its support, has been remarkable.”
