IITs College of Architecture is one of the most highly regarded programs in the country, and the top-ranked architecture school in the Midwest. Crown Hall, a remarkable faculty, and the finest students anywhere combine to create a learning environment that simply cannot be matched.

But did you know nearly every one of our students receives financial aid, aid which is right in line with IIT's original mission of opening education to students regardless of their economic circumstances? We're proud to be part of a university that is at the very top of the charts for moving students from financial hardship to professional success.

It means we need your support, and today is a perfect day to pitch in. Help us secure the next cohort of first-generation college students, from all 50 states and nearly as many nations around the world. IITs College of Architecture is a beacon - that's why you came here: help us bring the next generation to that same light.

Your gift will be used to support financial aid for undergraduate and graduate students in the college. It will also help our fantastic shop and library. And finally, it will help us launch new programming that will keep IIT at the forefront of professional education.

We're proud that not only did we maintain our student population over the last year, we actually grew the college, continuing an accelerated upward trend that has brought us more than 150 new students in just three years. We're proud that our faculty have won dozens of national awards in design, scholarship, and publication during the last two years. We're proud that our student organizations lead their peers nationally, year after year. And we're proud our alumni and friends have continued to support us throughout a period of great uncertainty. Thank you!
