Office of Advancement

Regardless of financial circumstances, Illinois Tech opens doors for students of all backgrounds. Scholarships and fellowships are among the most critical elements to ensure student success, as we fulfill our promise to educate and ignite the power of difference to make a difference.

Investment in the student experience strengthens how our students live, study, participate, work, create, and innovate. Modernizing educational spaces, research labs, and residence halls will provide an environment where students can engage with other students and the Illinois Tech community, both within and beyond the classroom. Enhancing student life programs will provide opportunities for students to discover their community nested within Illinois Tech’s greater community. Student living spaces are also expanding with reimagined and renovated residence halls that pay homage to our Miesian architecture. 

Technology is at the core of everything we do. Today’s technology-focused workforce was built for Illinois Tech students, whose experiences at the university prepare them to unleash their knowledge and meet career and leadership goals. Our faculty deliver an exceptional education centered on active learning. Students witness and engage with the groundbreaking research of our faculty. Illinois Tech prepares students to succeed in professions that require technological sophistication, an innovative mindset, and an entrepreneurial spirit

Unrestricted support, including unrestricted endowment gifts, is instrumental in propelling our purpose, equipping the university with a sustainable foundation, and providing the flexibility to respond to existing needs and emerging opportunities.
