Contributions Forever LSU

As part of FOREVER LSU, the department has identified program needs that can be realized through the generous philanthropy of donors and friends. With the College of Engineering’s overall campaign goal to improve academic excellence and make transformational change, the opportunities below complement the department’s quest for securing private funds for the new building.

• 5 Non-Endowed Graduate Fellowships for Engineering Excellence to recruit and retain top doctoral students, funded annually for four years for a total donor commitment of $60,000 each (plus $60,000 in department match)
  
  
• 5 Distinguished Professorships at $300,000 each ($180,000 private gift plus $120,000 in state match)
  
  
• 2 Endowed Chairs at $2 million each ($1.2 million private gift plus $800,000 in state match)
  
  
• Establish the Chemical Engineering Faculty Investment (Start-up) Fund at $500,000 in order to provide faculty with competitively priced start-up packages
