Scholarship Fund

Support the Next Generation


The ECE Department has worked hard to lower the cost of lab fees and equipment, while maintaining the best quality hands-on learning experience. However, the financial cost of college creates a barrier for some students. Please consider making a small donation to support ECE students. All donations will go directly to supporting the student experience.

How to Donate


Upon receiving your donation, your name or organization will be recorded on the donor wall and website, as well as course syllabus and/or lab kits for recognition. Select one of the following options and leave a note detailing how you would like your donation to be applied:

Unrestricted support for students & research

Direct financial support for individual students

Be sure to look for the Match your Gift section at the end of the form. Many companies offer matching donations, if your employer does, please indicate so. Doing so can potentially double your donation!


Have questions or ideas? Please contact John Bolke (john.bolke@utah.edu).
