Our Crowdfunding Groups
Beach Engineering Student Success Team (BESST)
The Beach Engineering Student Success Team (BESST) program at CSULB’s College of Engineering is a proven initiative designed to help first-year students—especially those from diverse backgrounds and with the greatest need—thrive academically, socially, and developmentally. BESST provides cohort-based learning, supplemental tutoring, and direct connections to faculty, staff, and peers, ensuring students build a strong foundation for success. With a focus on supporting those who may not be calculus-ready, BESST helps level the playing field, increasing retention and graduation rates. Your gift empowers aspiring engineers, breaking barriers and transforming futures—one student at a time.
Senior Design Projects
Senior Design Projects are the capstone of a CSULB engineering student’s education, where classroom knowledge transforms into real-world innovation. These hands-on projects challenge students to solve complex engineering problems, preparing them for the workforce while fostering creativity, teamwork, and technical expertise. However, many students face financial barriers in bringing their ideas to life. Your gift provides crucial funding for materials, technology, and resources, ensuring every student can fully develop their project without limitations. By giving to Senior Design Projects, you’re not just supporting students—you’re investing in the future of engineering, innovation, and the groundbreaking solutions of tomorrow.
Engineering Program Scholarships
Scholarships are more than just financial aid—they are a lifeline for talented, hardworking students who dream of becoming engineers but face financial barriers. At CSULB’s College of Engineering, we offer scholarships across all disciplines—Mechanical & Aerospace, Civil & Construction Engineering Management, Electrical, Biomedical, and more—ensuring that every student, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to succeed. Your gift directly impacts future engineers, easing their financial burden so they can focus on innovation, learning, and shaping the world around us. By giving to the Engineering Scholarship Fund, you are investing in diversity, excellence, and the bright minds that will drive the future of technology and infrastructure.
