Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has a long tradition of giving that started with the philanthropic efforts of Chauncey Rose, who founded Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1874. Rose knew then that providing a broad-based undergraduate engineering, math and science education would be an investment in people and their potential. That tradition of giving to Rose-Poly continues to this day at Rose-Hulman and has made a profound and lasting contribution to engineering education.

Rose-Hulman still relies on the generosity of alumni, parents and other friends to exceed the standards of excellence Chauncey Rose set for the institution more than 125 years ago. Today’s students still walk the floors of the main building, Moench Hall, with dreams of becoming the engineering and science leaders of tomorrow. Because tuition alone does not result in enough funds to provide the high quality Rose-Hulman education, your gift is essential. Through our development efforts, we seek funds for technology to equip state-of-the-art classrooms, faculty support and financial aid which Rose-Hulman needs to ensure the excellence of an undergraduate engineering education.
