The Cooper Together Scholarship

All thanks to YOU!
 

Cooper Together is more than a celebration of our founder, Peter Cooper. It's an opportunity for our community to come together and make a real impact.

And make an impact, we did!

We are happy to announce that we made our goal of $89,100 for the first annual Cooper Together Scholarship! 

The Cooper Together Scholarship will make a transformative impact by sending a deserving student to Cooper for four years, all fueled by donor support, like yours. 

Help us send more deserving students to The Cooper Union tuition-free by donating here and contributing to our Plan to Return to Full-Tuition Scholarships.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
