#TechCares Challenge
Make an Impact on Students Who Impact the World
As the class of 2021 leaves The Hill, we know they’re prepared to join the ranks of alumni who make the world better every day—imagining and designing solutions to problems that matter.
When you make a gift to WPI, you help ensure that, no matter what challenges the world faces next, a new generation of humanist engineers and problem-solvers will be ready to meet them.
Your Impact + $100
Now through June 30, your gift has an outsized impact: our trustees will give $100 for each donor who participates, providing up to $20,000 in total to WPI’s Areas of Greatest Need.
What to Support
No matter what you choose to support, your gift will make a difference for our students and faculty who are making real-world impact every day.
We are especially grateful for your support of our priority areas:
WPI’s Areas of Greatest Need
As we look ahead to a more “normal” fall, your unrestricted support will enable WPI the flexibility to direct funds wherever they are needed most. Your gift will help to fill any gaps in essential funding, whether in student financial aid or in critical operating costs, as we transition to living, learning, and innovating in our next normal.
Financial Aid
While we are all eager to put the pandemic behind us, families across the country are continuing to feel its economic impacts. At a time when the need for thoughtful, well-rounded scientists and engineers has never been more evident, ensuring access to a WPI education for the next generation of STEM leaders is as important as ever. Your gift to financial aid ensures that access.
Emergency Assistance Fund
When students face urgent, unanticipated costs in areas such as food, rent, and medical bills, our generous community, through the Emergency Assistance Fund, helps to meet that need. In the 2020-2021 academic year, 45 students received such support. Your gift to the Emergency Assistance Fund relieves the financial stress on our students, allowing them to focus on what brought them to WPI.
