There is perhaps no better, more lasting, or more literal way to make your mark at Florida Tech than to name a part of campus that means something to you.
Named Programs and Spaces
Naming a College or Department not only secures resources to help raise our level of excellence and to enable growth in research and teaching but also gives an identity for prospective students and faculty and enhances the reputation of the university.
Donors create a visible legacy when they name buildings, classrooms, lecture halls, gardens, and other areas of the university. Named spaces help us to personalize campus and create a warmer feeling when directing visitors.

Faculty Chairs ($2.5M)
Faculty Chairs allow Florida Tech to recruit and retain the best faculty in their fields. For a donor, a faculty chair provides perpetual recognition that will, over time, create a long line of outstanding academic leaders. Faculty chairs secure the university's ability to sustain their specific area of study, research and teaching. They add distinction and recognition to the university and its departments.
Faculty Professorships ($1M)
A professorship at Florida Tech supports the research of its appointed faculty member. These are awarded to distinguished faculty who have exhibited outstanding achievement and/or promise of achievement in their fields. Funding from the professorship is used by the faculty member to advance their research and academic programs as a critical part of the university's mission. Examples include giving faculty holders the ability to conduct pilot research projects or to support student research under their supervision.
Student Fellowship Funds ($100,000)
Fellowship Funds are awarded by faculty primarily in support of graduate students. These funds allow students to pursue research projects as part of their education and to participate in conferences, symposia, field trips and other relevant activities for their development professionally. Fellowships are especially important for promising future researchers and academics and can play a role in supporting them during the most vital early years of their careers.
Student Scholarship Funds ($50,000)
One of the most essential giving opportunities for Florida Tech are scholarship funds which allow the university to support students. Every student who is qualified to attend Florida Tech should be able to afford to come regardless of their family financial circumstances. For this reason, need-based scholarships are particularly important. In addition, merit-based awards help Florida Tech to recruit the most talented students who will bring to the campus particular academic strength, curiosity and potential to excel.
Endowed Funds ($25,000)
Endowed funds are invested as part of the university's investment pool. They require a minimum of twenty-five thousand ($25,000) to establish or name a fund. Gifts less than fifty thousand (< $50,000) may be used for general support or to increase other existing endowments.
