School of Computer Science

This Giving CMU Day, we hope you'll join us in recognizing the students, faculty and staff who solve real-world problems, shape the future of technology and change the world.

Your gift has an immediate and far-ranging impact. With your help, we can expand access to top tier computer science education to children and young adults around the world. We support outstanding students through scholarships. We develop new ways to work with the community, spread love about SCS and encourage future generations of all backgrounds to consider computer science as a career. In addition, you give our dean and department heads the flexibility they need to respond quickly to educational and quality-of-life needs.

We're amazed by the accomplishments of our alumni and the broader SCS community. With you as volunteers, donors and champions, we strengthen our community and lead the way in developing a better world. Thank you for considering a gift today.

If you don’t see your preferred fund, please visit this site to make your gift; and if you have any trouble, please reach out to us at SCSgiving@cs.cmu.edu.

Giving CMU Day is your chance to illuminate the next bright idea at the School of Computer Science.
