Support FEAS

In FEAS, learning transcends traditional lectures and labs. Our vibrant ecosystem nurtures creative thinking, hands-on experience, and community-driven growth, empowering students to transform ideas into lasting impact. Our students are changemakers—leading, building, mentoring, and imagining new possibilities. Whether they’re lifting each other up through mentorship, breaking barriers in innovation, or bringing bold ideas to life as part of dynamic teams, FEAS students are shaping the future with purpose and creativity. Through initiatives like mentorship programs (opens in new window) , innovation networks (opens in new window) , and hands-on student, they gain the skills, support, and connections to drive change.

We invite you to discover how these diverse opportunities unlock limitless potential and help shape a brighter future.

Research excellence is central to everything we do at FEAS. Our faculty members are advancing discovery and innovation across disciplines—from clean energy and smart cities to health technologies and artificial intelligence. FEAS is home to 10 Canada Research Chairs (opens in new window) , 4 world-renowned Industrial Research Chairs endowed chairs, and a network of centres and innovation zones (opens in new window)  that foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

We have outpaced all other undergraduate-focused universities in peer-reviewed publications, with a 764% increase over the past 15 years—demonstrating both the quality and impact of our work. Donor support plays a vital role in this success—enabling groundbreaking research and providing students with opportunities to learn alongside leading experts. Together, we’re creating solutions to complex challenges and helping shape a better future through research that matters.

Scholarships and awards are a vital part of how we support student success at FEAS. By removing financial barriers, they ensure that every talented student—regardless of background—can access a world-class engineering and architectural education. Our top priorities include expanding entrance scholarships, improving access for students from underrepresented groups, and attracting academic excellence.

These awards not only celebrate achievement but also affirm that our community stands behind each student’s journey. Through the generosity of alumni and donors, we’re building a more inclusive, ambitious, and empowered generation of future leaders. We are proud to support more than 250 students with over $600,000 of scholarship funding every year. 

Engineering outreach at FEAS is more than just education - it’s about creating access and expanding opportunity. Our programs are grounded in a commitment to equity, access, and representation; designed to spark curiosity and build confidence among youth who have traditionally been underrepresented in STEM—especially girls and young women, Black youth, and Indigenous youth. Through hands-on activities, mentorship, and real-world problem-solving, initiatives like Go ENG, WEMADEIT, and Global Changemakers Engineering Competition, our programs (opens in new window)  open the door to future possibilities. Whether through school-year workshops or summer camps like Eureka! and FuturEng, we create welcoming spaces where young people can explore engineering and architectural science, develop their skills, and see themselves as future changemakers. By breaking down systemic barriers and fostering inclusive participation, FEAS is shaping a more diverse, equitable, and empowered next generation of engineers and innovators.

Every day FEAS faculty and staff devote their time and energy to enabling our students to reach their full potential.  Many have chosen to deepen their connection through regular or one-time gifts directed to student awards, experiential learning or department funds.

A planned gift is a charitable donation that can be arranged during your lifetime, but will be used by Toronto Metropolitan in the future. Planned gifts often enable donors to make significant gifts while also fulfilling important tax and financial goals. The most common type of planned gift is a bequest, but there are others, including: charitable remainder trusts, gifts of residual interest, life insurance, and gifts of RRIFs and RRSPs.
