Your Gift Makes a Difference!

It’s true: People like you have played a big role in many of NJIT’s achievements—including the founding of the university back in 1881.

Education costs have jumped in recent years, and NJIT’s tuition covers only one third the true cost of educating each student. And yet our research and development programs have also grown dramatically—to a record high of $76.9 million in 2006-07.

Funding from sources outside the University play a key role in our growth—whether the gift be from an individual or foundation, no contribution is too small to make a difference.

Where exactly do these contributions go?

  • To students, through scholarships, fellowships, grants, sponsored internship programs, innovative academics, outstanding faculty, and top-notch learning facilities
  • To faculty, departments, and colleges, supporting scholarship, research, professional-level equipment, and ever-expanding programs
  • To centers and labs, for their ongoing research in applied life sciences, bioengineering, information and communication technology, materials and material process engineering, and sustainable systems and infrastructure
