Giving to Computer Science
Computer Science Excellence Fund
The Computer Science Excellence fund allows the department to have direct and immediate impact on UH undergraduate and graduate students, research, and outreach. These funds can be used for multiple activites and programs such as, but no limited to: student travel to competitions and conferences, classroom and research equipment, outreach activities, invited lectures, program support, student organization support, alumni activities, PhD research showcase, and other various events.
Your gift to this fund will allow the department chair to use the funds where they are needed most. Select Computer Science Excellence Fund from the menu on our online giving page under “NSM" and "Computer Science.”
Computer Science Scholarship Fund
Scholarship support is often a deciding factor for an undergraduate or graduate student in selecting the University of Houston over another institution. This support helps students focus their energies on reaching their goal of an education by reducing their financial hardship. Operating scholarships provide one-time, immediate financial assistance for current and prospective students annually.
You may give one-time, monthly, quarterly or annually to support student operating scholarships. Our online giving page provides a mechanism for giving an operating gift by selecting Computer Science Scholarship from the menu under “NSM” and “Computer Science.”
If you are interested in creating a permanent source of funding for a scholarship through an endowment, please contact Olivia Thompson at onthomps@central.uh.edu or 713-743-8026.
