Supporting the Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science means investing in a legacy of mathematical excellence that has shaped modern science and engineering since its founding in 1935. Founded by Richard Courant, the School continues to uphold his mission of academic freedom, collaboration and problem-solving. Philanthropic gifts directly support graduate and undergraduate students through fellowships, research assistantships, and travel funding that enables them to collaborate with leading scholars worldwide. Donor support also strengthens core and emerging programs—advancing research in applied mathematics, data science, artificial intelligence, and computational science—while sustaining Courant’s renowned culture of rigorous theory paired with real-world impact. 

As Courant looks to the future as a new School, gifts help fuels interdisciplinary initiatives, modernize research infrastructure, and ensure we continue to attract top faculty and students who are tackling today’s most complex scientific challenges.

• $500 can help support a student presenting research at a national conference.
• $1000+ can contribute to a scholarship that empowers a student to attend Courant without financial strain.
• $2,500+ can contribute to a faculty seed fund for pioneering new areas of research. 

Your generosity helps our students question deeply, think critically, and apply that knowledge. Be part of their journey.
