After celebrations taking place in over 30 cities and regions around the world, the tradition of the “Cooper Together Scholarship” continues. Now in its second year, the goal is to raise $89,000, which will cover the 50% tuition gap for one deserving student.

At the Cooper Together Northern New Jersey gathering, an incredible Cooper alumnus and long-time supporter pledged to match every donation made toward this scholarship, up to $44.5K. This generous offer will double each contribution, bringing us closer to our goal faster.

Alan Fortier ChE’79. “….I owe my success to the education I received at The Cooper Union. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Cooper.”

With Alan’s remarkable generosity, every gift—no matter the size—makes a meaningful impact in continuing to provide the exceptional education that shaped all of us and that will inspire the next generation of Cooper students.

Please consider making a gift today and help us ensure that future generations of Cooper leaders have the opportunities they deserve.
