265 Million Reasons to say "Thank You!"
Drive, drive on down the field, engineers of the scarlet & gray
The College of Engineering’s goal is to raise $350 million during the university’s But for Ohio State campaign, which is a $2.5 billion fundraising endeavor that invites those who believe in Ohio State to invest in our students, our faculty and our potential. Overall, the university has raised $1.99 billion* so far.
Thanks to the generosity of our alumni, friends and partners, the College of Engineering is charging down the field, and has raised $265 million*. Supporters are helping us secure educational opportunities for future generations of students and meet the enormous challenges we face as a society. Together, we will sustain an enduring tradition of scholarship, service and pride. Our end zone is in sight and together we can—and will—smash through to victory!
