Scholarships
Our top priority right now is to increase gifts to our scholarship funds. With a growing gap between the cost of a college education and grants and government support, endowed scholarships are a priority need. To recruit and retain potential leaders, we must increase scholarship awards based on academic merit and financial need. To give to a broad group of students, choose the NTID Foundation Endowed Scholarship Fund or other scholarship options.
If you are interested in establishing a named scholarship fund in honor or memory of someone, please contact James Ebenhoch.
Here's what a scholarship recipient says:
"I want to express my sincere gratitude for your generosity. The scholarship has been a huge financial relief to my family and has given me more precious time to concentrate on my studies."
- Josh Allman, Computer Science, Irvine, Calif.
Facilities
In the brand new CSD Student Development Center connecting the LBJ building to the Shumway Commons, more than 18 NTID student groups share space, supplies, equipment, and ideas.
Equipment
Technology is key to attracting and retaining top faculty and students and creating "smart classrooms" to meet the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Gifts of specific equipment for our training programs give students practice with the latest equipment they will find on the job. Please contact us to learn more.
Academics
To stay competitive, NTID requires a number of endowed chairs to attract talented faculty to integrate the most current research into teaching students.
Research
NTID is in a unique position to further research in deafness, whether it relates to age-related hearing loss, American Sign Language, or the learning strategies of deaf students. We welcome your interest in this work. Please contact us to learn more.
