Areas to Support

Jindal School General Fund

A gift to the Jindal School’s General Fund will be allocated to the areas of greatest need.  This fund allows the Jindal School to have the necessary resources to continue creating a superior learning environment for our talented students.

 

Need-Based Scholarships

A gift in support of the Naveen Jindal Student Support Fund will provide tuition support to full-time undergraduate students with the most financial need.  For many students, attending the Jindal School is made possible by the scholarships and financial assistance they receive.  Your gift of any amount will insure their continued success.  All gifts to the Naveen Jindal Student Support Fund will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by Dean Hasan Pirkul on Giving Day.

 

“This scholarship encourages me to persevere and reminds me that dreams are to be followed.  Being a full-time parent and full-time student, this scholarship will lessen the financial burden of this semester’s tuition.  Thanks to your generosity, I will be able to concentrate more on what is essential, the success of my studies and the well-being of my family.” – 2019 Naveen Jindal Student Support Fund Recipient.
