One of the strengths of the School of Computer Science is the entrepreneurial nature of its students, faculty and researchers. The Dean's Innovation Fund allows the dean to quickly support new ideas that emerge during the year that aren't covered by the operational budget or research grants. The dean can also use this fund to improve the quality of life for graduate and undergraduate students.
Faculty & Student Support
The Graduate Education Fellowship Fund helps SCS to recruit and support talented graduate students who are underrepresented at CMU.
Created in honor of the former dean of SCS, and now professor emeritus, the Randy Bryant Endowed Fellowship Fund provides full or partial fellowships for graduate students in the School of Computer Science.
A pooled, current-use fund awarded annually to SCS students who need assistance in lowering the cost barrier of attending CMU.
The Red Whittaker Endowed Robotics Fellowship, created by alumni and friends in honor of longtime professor Red Whittaker, provides fellowship support within the discipline of field robotics, to include cross-disciplinary work in computer science, engineering, and related disciplines, with a preference for master’ s or Ph.D. students in at least their second year in the school of Computer Science or College of Engineering.
Created in honor of CMU alumnus and teaching professor emeritus Jacobo Carrasquel (S'83, HNZ'88), this need-based scholarship will honor Jacobo’s legacy by supporting an SCS student who will follow in his trailblazing footsteps, making our community stronger as a result.
The CompBio Fellowship Fund provides general fellowship support to students participating in masters programs offered by the Computational Biology Department who are of under-privileged socioeconomic status, with a preference for students who have demonstrated a strong interest in careers in biomedical research.
The CompBio High School Summer Program Scholarship Fund provides general scholarship support to students participating in the department's high school summer program(s), with a preference for students who are of under-privileged socioeconomic status.
CMU Roboticists are helping to save lives. You can help them by supporting the DARPA Sub-T Challenge team.
The Scott Robert Krulcik Scholarship Fund in Computer Science will be used to establish a merit-based scholarship to acknowledge and reward a current undergraduate student (or students) in their junior or senior years who are enrolled in CMU’s School of Computer Science and who have clearly demonstrated the core traits, attitude, and approach that embodied Scott.
