College of Applied Science
The University of Cincinnati's College of Applied Science (CAS) strives to provide the knowledge and skills graduates need to excel in today's global economy.
CAS Challenges
One of the College’s greatest challenges is to provide superior education at an affordable cost. Technological training requires a considerable investment in equipment, much of which rapidly becomes obsolete.
CAS must ensure that students have scholarship assistance in addition to hands-on experience with the most up-to-date equipment so that, upon graduation, they will make immediate contributions in their chosen fields.
CAS looks to individuals and alumni who understand the world’s dependence on technology and the critical need for leaders with knowledge and advanced skills. Please consider supporting CAS and make an annual, endowed or planned gift to the UC College of Applied Science. Each gift makes a difference.
Funding Opportunities
Scholarships
Many scholarship funds exist at the College, and you may choose to contribute to a specific department’s scholarship fund. A contribution to scholarship funds like the Barbara Barkley Memorial Scholarship Fund, Theodore H. and Mary Meyer Memorial EET Fund or The Forest D. and Gail Atkins Scholarship Fund will help CAS attract high-quality students and open doors for students at CAS.
Dean’s Discretionary Fund
The Dean’s Discretionary Fund supports lab upgrades that keep CAS in step with industry advancements and maintains the College’s leadership role. It is also used to support conferences, symposiums, field trips, student competitions and other experiential learning programs that prepare CAS students for their careers.
Student Emergency Fund
The Student Emergency Fund was created to assist students in good academic standing who experience emergencies or have short-term financial needs not met by federal and state loans and grants. Often these students' financial obligations and difficulties prohibit them from purchasing books and materials and even from attending classes. This fund will allow them to continue achieving in their educational endeavors at the College of Applied Science, regardless of their financial situations.
Endowments
You may also choose to endow a fund to support a scholarship or other initiative for CAS. Named endowment funds can be created and named to honor or commemorate someone. A minimum gift of $25,000 endows a fund.
The CAT Reading Room Fund
The Center for Access and Transition has received a grant to open an on-site Reading Room stocked with a wide variety of fiction books. The Reading Room is meant to increase CAT students’ access to books, raise the amount of self-selected reading they do and contribute to their development as readers. Additional funds are needed mainly to buy books and maintain the Reading Room. Make a gift to the CAT Reading Room Fund.
The CAT Scholarship Fund
The CAT Scholarship Fund serves students who are achieving academically, but are in need of money for education costs not covered by their financial aid or income. Make a gift to the CAT Scholarship Fund.
The Faculty Development Fund
The Faculty Development Fund provides money necessary for CAT faculty in all departments to excel in teaching and research. Make a gift to the Faculty Development Fund.
