Alumni support for the JSU STEM programs that produced us.
We're raising a $50,000 founding gift by kickoff on Nov 7, 2026 — the JSU vs. Valley State celebration of 25 years of engineering at Jackson State. Every dollar names a scholar.
Countdown to kickoff
Foundation Production
25 years of engineering at Jackson State.
Alumni weekend, faculty recognition, our first scholarship gift — and the working alumni list and giving cadence the foundation needs to keep operating after the whistle.
The work the settlement didn't pay for.
The Ayers settlement built the labs. It never paid for the textbooks, conference flights, or internships that turn a JSU engineering degree into a career.
Faculty-honor scholarships
Named for the professors who built the program — Dr. Whalin, Dr. Ali, Dr. Manzoul. Every award is published with scholar, semester, major, amount.

Engineers at NASA, Disney, Southern Company, the U.S. Army — organized to take the call from the student still coming up.
Learn more →Career bridges
Internships, conference travel, corporate matchmaking — the small dollars that turn a degree into a first offer letter.

A founding scholarship gift from JSU engineering alumni.
We're closing the $50,000 founding gift by kickoff. Every dollar carries a scholar's name, a professor's name, and a use-of-funds report.
By Nov 7, 2026 — JSU vs. Valley State kickoff.
Keep in touch. Take a call.
700+ engineers walked out of JSU since 2001. We're in touch with about 120. Help us close that gap — and be the voice on the other end of a student's call.
