Engineering Fellowship and Scholarship Fund

UB Chemical and Biological Engineering professor Eli Ruckenstein.

This fund provides crucial financial support for students who have exceptional academic records and potential.

Fellowships and scholarships play a critical role in helping the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences attract and retain leading students, further enhance the diversity of our student body, and remain one of the top public engineering universities in the Northeast.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is powerfully positioned to help solve humanity’s greatest global problems and to strengthen the economy and the manufacturing sector in Buffalo and Western New York. By making world-class engineering and applied sciences education affordable and accessible to all exceptional undergraduate and graduate students, we have the power to transform lives, careers and the world in remarkable ways. Please partner with us as we take the school to a new level—and as we engineer a better, brighter future around the world.
