Engineering Student Success Fund (Helios Fund)
The Helios Fund supports five high impact practices that strengthen student experiences and success:
- Global perspective – students learn to be global citizens, able to navigate diverse cultures and global economies.
- Undergraduate research projects – students tackle multidisciplinary and translational research, learning principles and theories in the digital classroom and applying that knowledge in the laboratory.
- Experiential learning opportunities – students have access to internships at small companies and industry leaders.
- Hands-on experiences – students apply lessons learned in the classroom to team-based initiatives. They research, incorporate design fundamentals, test and retest solutions and learn how to succeed.
- Community engagement programs – community-based projects introduce local children in K-12 to science and technology fields and encourage them to be a part of our STEM Academy.
This Giving Day, make a gift to the Helios Fund to support the success of engineering students!
College of Engineering Scholarship Fund
Scholarships empower our students to focus on what's most important: the future. Most of our undergraduate scholarships are targeted at students who have completed at least one term as an engineering student and demonstrate a combination of academic achievement, leadership and financial need, although financial need is not required for all college scholarships.
Join the community of alumni and donors who support students with scholarships!
Achieve your charitable goals and create your WSU legacy with a gift in your estate plan.
Wayne State faculty and staff can give via payroll deduction here.
Not only did we pass our goal of 1,900 donors for Giving Day 2024 - but we also raised more than $2 million for our amazing students, brilliant faculty, groundbreaking research, and critical urban programs, which move Detroit and our world forward.
We are blown away by your support! This is proof that Warrior generosity makes our impact stronger.
Thank you!!!
