Luddy Step Up

What does it mean to Step Up?

Stepping up means rolling up your sleeves (or, rather, socks) to take action and support Luddy students. It's an investment in their future and a belief in the power of education to shape tomorrow.

When you see someone wearing Luddy socks, you know they didn’t just make a donation; they made a difference. Every gift counts for a collective impact that moves us toward a brighter future together.

Support that keeps us on the right foot

Flexible funding from the Luddy Step Up Fund is vital; it provides unrestricted support where it's needed most, allowing the Luddy School to respond to student needs in real-time. Your gift to the Step Up Fund creates crucial opportunities that might not exist otherwise, such as:

  • Graduate and undergraduate scholarships
  • Education and research trips
  • Student awards support
  • Travel for student conferences and events
  • ...and so much more

B.S. Intelligent Systems Engineering '27

"As a first-generation college student, the financial challenges of higher education seemed insurmountable. However, being a scholarship recipient at the Luddy School has given me the opportunity to fully focus on pursuing my degree in Intelligent Systems Engineering. It has also enabled me to engage both on and off campus—whether it’s playing rugby for Indiana University or founding and serving as president of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. With this support, I am deeply committed to paying it forward by using the knowledge I gain here to enhance the well-being of others. Your generosity today will help future students achieve their goals tomorrow."
